Job Description: A nuclear physicist and/or engineer to assist with radiation spectroscopy operations in PNNL's Radiochemical Processing Laboratory. Analyses include applications such as provenance testing of actinide materials out of regulatory control, Hanford tank waste sample characterization, reactor dosimetry measurements, analyzing complex low- and high-activity samples in support of the International Monitoring System's Radiation Laboratory, and nuclear forensics. The role will support fundamental nuclear data measurements probing neutron-induced fission yields of actinides, development of algorithms and software for automated analysis of advanced radio-emission spectroscopy systems, and development of detector arrays for improved detection sensitivities. If you have questions please feel free to reach out to Stephanie Lyons (stephanie.lyons@pnnl.gov) or Bruce Pierson (bruce.pierson@pnnl.gov) for more information.

Postdoctoral Position in the Experimental Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research (LER) Group at Argonne National Laboratory

The Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research Group (LER) of the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory seeks outstanding individuals to fill an open postdoctoral position within the experimental Group. LER performs world-leading research in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, and nuclear data. The Group also manages and operates world-class detector systems as part of the ATLAS accelerator facility, a DOE supported national user facility for low-energy nuclear physics research. ATLAS provides world-unique rare isotope beams from either the CARIBU (Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade) source or the ATLAS In-Flight Facility. In addition, members of the group are leading experimental programs at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).

Candidates considered for the position must have:
• Recently received or near completion of their Ph.D. in nuclear physics or related discipline within the last 3 years.
• Experience at conceiving and executing experimental research projects, data analysis, physics interpretations, and reporting of the results.
• A strong background in the field of Experimental Nuclear Physics.
In addition, a preference will be given to candidates with experience in studies of exotic nuclei using gamma-ray detector arrays for either in-beam or decay measurements.

Information on the activities of the Group and the Division can be found at https://www.anl.gov/phy. The Argonne Physics Division has programs in low energy and medium energy nuclear physics, nuclear theory, nuclear data, accelerator R&D and operates the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics National User Facility, the Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS).

The appointment will be for two years, with the possibility of an extension for up to 3 years depending on funding and performance. Interested applicants should apply at here: https://www.anl.gov/hr/postdoctoral-applicants and specify requisition #414657 https://argonne.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ArgonneCareers/job/Lemont-IL-USA/Postdoctoral-Appointment---Low-Energy-Nuclear-Physics-Research-Group414657. In addition, please forward your CV and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to Dr. Michael P. Carpenter (carpenter@anl.gov). Review of applicants will begin February 15, 2023, and the position will remain open until filled.
