Michigan State University (MSU) seeks to hire within the nuclear theory department at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Applicants should have a strong publication record and experience with high-performance computing and nuclear many-body theory or nonperturbative quantum field theories. The candidate will develop nuclear lattice effective field theory codes and perform simulations relevant to the FRIB science program. Other research activities depend on the interests of the candidate. The candidate is expected to maintain an active and impactful research program and contribute to a positive work environment at FRIB. The appointment will be for three years with the possibility of renewal.

Assistant Professor in Nuclear Physics, University of Birmingham, UK
06 February 2025
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor with strong expertise and a demonstrated scientific track record in nuclear physics, to coordinate and lead the science programme on Applied Nuclear Physics, with a particular focus on research at the School's accelerator facilities. The accelerators comprise the Birmingham MC40 Cyclotron; and the High Flux Accelerator-Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF), a new national facility that is part of the National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) project, an important Government investment in the UK's nuclear future to provide state-of-the-art experimental facilities for research and development in nuclear science and technology.
Role specifications include the following:
• PhD in Nuclear Physics.
• Strong background in nuclear science.
• Background in accelerator-based measurements and instrumentation applicable to applied nuclear physics studies or neutron-based measurements.
• An understanding of nuclear interactions and experience in planning and implementing accelerator-based measurements, including Monte-Carlo simulations, reaction calculations, spectroscopy (i.e. charged particle, gamma or neutron detection), and awareness of material activation mechanisms and radioactive waste minimisation.
• Evidence of effectively engaging with academic and wider user communities.
• Demonstrated publication and scientific track record in a field relevant to the Applied Nuclear Physics.
Informal enquiries can be made to Professor David Evans, email: d.evans@bham.ac.uk and/or Professor Carl Wheldon, email: C.Wheldon@bham.ac.uk
