Three postdoc positions in Nuclear Structure Theory at York
08 March 2022
The nuclear theory group at the Department of Physics, University of York invites applications for three postdoctoral research associate positions starting in early 2022. Prospective candidates can apply before 18 March at
Research Associate 1 (Available for 32 months): This role is part of a Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Consolidated Grant 2021 "Theme 4 – DFT Approach to Nuclear Collective Excitations" and contribute to build up theoretical research in support of UK nuclear science. You will work on developing novel and advanced nuclear density functionals with the overarching goal of improving their precision and predictive power. You will build theoretical tools and codes that allow the study of excited collective states, transition probabilities, and decay lifetimes. You will perform extensive calculations across the Segrè chart to include collective observables in building novel nuclear density functionals.
Research Associate 2 (Available for 48 months): This role is part of a Leverhulme Research Grant 2021 "Designer nuclei and molecules for study of the fundamental laws of the universe" and support worldwide activity in the studies of fundamental interactions. You will determine nuclear-DFT symmetry-violating anapole and exotic nuclear moments that are essential to interpret measurements of hyperfine structures in atoms and molecules.
Research Associate 3 (Available for 24 months): This role is part of a Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Grant for Developing STFC nuclear physics priorities "Symmetry-restored two-centre self-consistent approach to fission with arbitrary deformations, orientations, and distance of fragments" and will help set the stage for long-term fission studies at York. You will conduct targeted development of computational infrastructure that allows for solving static superfluid DFT equations for all shapes of fissioning nuclei using a two-centre 3D harmonic-oscillator basis with arbitrary relative distances and orientations.
