Postdoc position in gamma-ray spectroscopy at GSI

08 April 2022

We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher position in experimental nuclear physics within the nuclear spectroscopy department at GSI.

The successful candidate will join the ERC funded LISA project. "Lifetime measurements with Solid Active targets" is a novel approach to study collective excitations in atomic nuclei. Active targets enhance the sensitivity and resolution for in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments enabling lifetime measurements of exotic rare isotopes.

Postdoctoral Position in Inverse Kinematics Surrogate Measurements at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

11 March 2022

Posting: https://www.llnl.gov/join-our-team/careers/find-your-job/all/all/3743990000200780

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to play a leading role in developing and conducting experiments to indirectly constrain the properties of neutron-induced reactions important to stockpile stewardship and nuclear astrophysics. You will use the GODDESS (Gamma-detector ORRUBA: Dual Detectors for Experimental Structure Studies) particle-g spectrometer to conduct experiments at the ATLAS facility at Argonne National Laboratory and FRIB at Michigan State University. Your responsibilities will include setting up and participating in experiments, analyzing the resulting data, and interpreting and publishing the results. You will also be responsible for the design and implementation of new experimental equipment, such as recoil and beam-tracking detectors. This opportunity is in the Nuclear Physics and Accelerator Technologies Group in the Nuclear and Chemicals Sciences (NACS) Division.

In this role you will
• Conduct surrogate-reaction measurements at accelerator-based facilities.
• Perform data analysis and interpret the results of experiments.
• Lead development of recoil and beam-tracking detector systems.
• Develop simulations of detector performance and validate simulations using calibration sources and experimental results.
• Publish research results in peer-reviewed scientific or technical journals and present results at external conferences, seminars, and/or technical meetings.
• Work in close collaboration with colleagues at Argonne National Laboratory, Michigan State University, and the broader nuclear-science community to perform measurements on radioactive nuclei.
• Provide technical contributions to the development of future nuclear-physics experiments.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
• PhD in a nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear engineering, nuclear chemistry or related field.
• Advanced knowledge with accelerator-based experiments and radiation counting using charged-particle and gamma-ray detectors.
• Experience in nuclear-reaction measurements involving light ions.
• Advanced knowledge in the design, construction, and operation of gas-filled recoil or beam-tracking detectors.
• Programming experience in C++, Python, and/or other programming languages.
• Experience performing data analysis and simulations with ROOT, GEANT4, or similar programs.
• Documented publication record in peer-reviewed literature in physics or a related field.
• Proficient verbal and written communication skills to collaborate effectively in a multi-disciplinary team environment and present and explain technical information.

Position Information This is a Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years. Eligible candidates are those who have been awarded a PhD at time of hire date.
