Postdoctoral Position at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS), working at JLab

07 September 2023

The Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS), to work on the CLAS12 experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia. The MIT-CLAS12 group, led by Professor Richard Milner, is currently focused on measurement of deeply virtual exclusive processes, and development of a polarized He-3 target for use in CLAS12. The position will offer further opportunities to participate in any part of the group activities.

Review of applications will begin at the time of receipt and the position will remain open until filled. To ensure full consideration, candidates should apply by November 1, 2023. Applicants are asked to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and brief statement of research interests and experience via both the AJO website (in a single pdf) and directly to Professor Richard Milner at milner@mit.edu. Please also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to Professor Milner via email.

Any questions may also be directed to Professor Milner.

The appointment will initially be for one year, renewable for additional one-year increments contingent upon satisfactory performance and available funding.

Job Requirements A recent Ph.D. in physics, preferably experimental nuclear or particle physics; and an interest in both the analysis and simulation of CLAS12 data and hardware.

Post-doc position at the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University "Luigi Vanvitelli"

05 September 2023

This message announces the opening by the end of this year of a post-doc position in Nuclear Theory that should start at the beginning of 2024 – not later than next February - at the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Caserta (Italy). The duration of the fellowship is 18 months, and the monthly net salary amounts to 1.9 kEuro.

The Nuclear Theory group at University "Luigi Vanvitelli" is going to investigate the properties of the equation of state of infinite nuclear matter starting from low-energy effective theory (LEEFT) Hamiltonians, as well as to derive shell-model effective Hamiltonians and decay operators aimed to study beta-decay properties of nuclei that are candidates to the observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay.

In low-energy effective theory, the effective degrees of freedom can be either nucleons (pions are integrated out) and/or clusters, typically alpha particles. Then, only contact interactions take place among nucleons/clusters, organized in a systematic expansion.

The official call should start during October 2023, and we ask you to spread the news of our post-doc position among young scientists who may be interested to challenge themselves in such a research topic, and are versed in many-body nuclear physics with realistic nuclear forces. We point out that also graduate students who have not a PhD degree may apply.

This position is framed in a 2-year project that the Nuclear Theory group at University "Luigi Vanvitelli" will carry out from next fall in collaboration with the Nuclear Theory groups at the Universities of Pisa and Salento, and the topic of the research project is the nuclear structure study of nuclear LEEFT Hamiltonians.

Please, for those who are interested to apply for this fellowship, contact us in order to receive first-hand information about the official start of the call:
