Postdoctoral Scientist Position for HPGe Detector Development at LBNL
05 September 2023
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Nuclear Science Division Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team within the Applied Nuclear Physics program. The position is focused on research towards the development, modeling, and characterization of a next-generation High Purity Germanium detector system primarily focused on nuclear structure experiments.
The Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) calls for applications of young researcher post-doctoral fellows for a two years position, in the field of experimental nuclear physics, starting from November 2023. The successful candidate will be involved in the research activities related to the structure and dynamics of superheavy nuclei using the Super Separator Spectrometer S3 and its detector SIRIUS.
Director of TRIUMF's Physical Sciences Division
30 August 2023
We are seeking an internationally recognised physicist with superb scientific and leadership skills to be appointed as the Director of TRIUMF's Physical Sciences Division (PSD).
The Electroweak Interactions Group at the Colorado School of Mines is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher to perform the first work on the new SALER experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University. We seek a candidate with significant experience in low-temperature physics using cryogenic sensing techniques. The candidate should have an interest in applying these methods to search for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) via precision measurements of nuclear decay. The successful candidate will be integrated into both the BeEST and SALER experiments and will be expected to lead the SALER technical development at FRIB and participate in data analysis. The primary responsibility of the researcher will be to set up and commission the new SALER experiment in the ReA3 hall at FRIB at Michigan State University. This will involve beamline integration of the adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) (in collaboration with local technical staff), mounting and repair of superconducting sensors and wiring, and performing off-line measurements using stable ion beam, pulsed lasers, and a low-energy X-ray generator. The researcher will be stationed full-time at FRIB in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, and will manage the local experimental and laboratory facilities related to the superconducting sensing programs. Occasional travel to Colorado and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (California) may be required. The candidate must be able to work well in diverse, mid-sized international collaborations, and will be responsible for documenting and disseminating their research work according to guidelines of the collaborations. The initial post-doctoral fellow appointment will be for two years, with the possible extension of a third.
Please contact Kathleen Feighny in Human Resources at Colorado School of Mines with any questions (kfeighny@mines.edu).
Career-Track Physicist Staff Scientist in the Nuclear Structure Group at LBNL
28 August 2023
The Nuclear Science Division (NSD) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is inviting applications for a Career-Track Physicist Staff Scientist position (in exceptional circumstances, a Career appointment will be considered). Candidates should be outstanding scientists with a focus on conducting original experimental physics research with an emphasis on the properties and reactions of exotic nuclei. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by October 27th, 2023.
The successful candidate will join the Nuclear Structure Group, and will be expected to lead the development of a research program in low-energy nuclear physics, leveraging recent advances in the field associated with the capabilities at facilities including FRIB.
The Nuclear Structure Group sits within NSD's Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Program which also includes major activities to study the properties of the heaviest elements and to carry out nuclear data evaluation and measurements for basic and the applied nuclear science communities. We develop, construct, and utilize advanced instrumentation for this work, including the gamma-ray tracking arrays GRETINA and GRETA, and the heavy element mass separators BGS and FIONA. Across the program research is carried out locally at the 88-Inch Cyclotron (LBNL's high-intensity stable-beam accelerator), at the Argonne ATLAS/CARIBU facility, and at the rare-isotope beam facilities FRIB at Michigan State University, the Rare Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN, and the ISAC Facility at TRIUMF.
