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 recoil separators coupled to gamma-ray detector arrays.
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. The expected starting date is Q4 of 2022. Interested applicants should apply at https://www.anl.gov/hr/postdoctoral-applicants and specify requisition #413473. 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 July 15, 2022, and the position will remain open until filled.
