The appointed PDRA will develop and apply ab initio reaction modelling methods to support experimental research within the group, addressing key questions in nuclear astrophysics. The PDRA is expected to undertake long-term visits (up to two months/year) to closely collaborate with Dr Guillaume Hupin (IJCLab, France) while being based at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Edinburgh.
The post is for a 2-year full-time position at grade UE07: £40,247 to £47,874 per annum.
For informal enquiries, please contact directly Prof. Aliotta and Dr Hupin.
Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nuclear Science at the Air Force Institute of Technology
11 October 2024
The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), located on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio, is hiring a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Engineering Physics. As an ORISE participant, you will join a community of scientists and researchers in an effort to research nuclear science, which has a variety of important applications to national security and the Air Force mission. Specific topics of interest include neutron inelastic scattering, neutron capture, neutron production, and experimental technique development related to detectors, targetry, and particle accelerators. AFIT is pursuing cutting edge research in these areas with a variety of academic, government, and national lab partners.
AFIT reviews and selects applicants on a rolling basis. Exact start dates will be determined at the time of selection and in coordination with the selected candidate. This appointment is a twelve-month research appointment, with the possibility to be renewed for additional research periods. Appointments may be extended depending on funding availability, project assignment, program rules, and availability of the participant.

Two senior research fellow positions at the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS), South Korea
08 October 2024
Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS, https://www.ibs.re.kr/cens/) at Institute for Basic Science (IBS), South Korea, is seeking creative, dynamic candidates to join and help the Center grow by leading experiments and theoretical studies on exotic nuclei, data analysis, and development of detectors. Two senior research fellow positions are open at this time.
The successful candidate will work in the center at the main campus of IBS in Daejeon, South Korea. Founded in December 2019, the IBS Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) carries out experiments on nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure and nuclear reaction using rare isotope accelerators overseas. CENS also has a theory group to carry out independent research and support its experimental efforts. Starting from this year, the Center is also conducting researches that can best utilize a rare isotope accelerator complex in South Korea, named Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON line experiments (RAON). Furthermore, CENS is working to develop state-of-the-art detectors for research on structures and reactions of exotic nuclei, measurement of nuclear reactions in explosive stellar events, discovery of new rare isotopes, and exotic nuclear physics experiments.
