Associate Professor Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics at FRIB

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking outstanding candidates for a mid-career position at the rank of associate professor in experimental nuclear science, establishing a program aimed at high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties for nuclear structure studies, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental symmetry tests. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, high-precision mass measurements, laser spectroscopy, and in-trap decay studies of rare isotopes. The successful candidate will lead high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties, beam stopping, and low-energy beam manipulation in support of precision experiments with stopped and reaccelerated beams.

The position will be filled at the rank of associate professor at MSU within the FRIB Faculty Position System https://hr.msu.edu/policies-procedures/faculty-academic-staff/FRIB-NSCL-Faculty.html with a joint appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility and affords world-class research opportunities in low-energy nuclear science since user operation commenced in May 2022. Leveraging FRIB, MSU's nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News and World Report's rankings of graduate programs.

How to apply

Interested individuals should submit an application through careers.msu.edu https://careers.msu.edu/, posting 968410.

For full consideration, applications should be received by September 30, 2024. Applications will be reviewed on a continuing basis until the position is filled. The goal is for the position to commence as early as Spring 2025.

Please address clarifications by email to exp_facsearch2024@frib.msu.edu.

Research Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics; University of Surrey

A research fellow (postdoc) position in experimental nuclear physics is available at the University of Surrey, UK.

Location: Guildford, UK
Salary: £36,024 to £44,263 per annum depending on experience
Fixed Term Contract until 30/09/2027
Post Type: Full Time
Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Sunday 08 September 2024
Interview Date: Monday 30 September 2024

The postdoctoral researcher's responsibility will include the technical organisation of overseas experiments, setting up complex detector arrangements and maintaining the STFC funded LaBr3 fast-timing FATIMA array and associated electronics. The position will involve work with radioactive rare isotope beams at laboratories including GSI/FAIR, CERN/ISOLDE, RIKEN etc. The candidate will be encouraged in the development of their own research programme.

The successful candidate will be an integral member of the experimental nuclear physics group and will be involved in the activities aimed to study the structure of heavy neutron-rich nuclei. They will join an established group studying isomeric and beta-unstable nuclei at the limits of experimental accessibility, using gamma-ray, charged-particle and storage-ring techniques. Candidates should have a proven track record of research contributions in experimental nuclear physics.

Informal enquiries about this vacancy can be made to Professor Zsolt Podolyák (z.podolyak@surrey.ac.uk) and Professor Paddy Regan (p.regan@surrey.ac.uk). Further information can be found here : http://jobs.surrey.ac.uk/035424
