Assistant Professor of Physics with tenure track at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden)
22 June 2021
Assistant Professor of Physics with tenure track The Department of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, embedded in one of Sweden's largest physics environments, now seeks a highly motivated young researcher and engaged teacher with international experience to expand our research portfolio in experimental, theoretical, and/or applied physics (see www.chalmers.se/en/departments/physics/research/Pages/default.aspx for an outline of present research activities at the department).
Our offer to you includes: • A four-year tenure-track position at Chalmers • Funding for one PhD student and some operational costs • Leadership programmes together with courses in graduate student supervision and teaching • A language course for non-Swedish speakers • A relocation package (including moving costs and help with practical issues for people moving to Sweden) • A permanent faculty position at Chalmers after successfully passing tenure assessment
We welcome applications from persons active in all areas of physics! Examples of research directions that could be particularly fruitful to pursue include theoretical soft matter and statistical physics; physics based on large infrastructures (external and/or in-house); physics for a sustainable future; development of visualization and analysis methods for biophysics and materials science; and interdisciplinary physics.

Research Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Surrey
11 June 2021
RESEARCH FELLOW IN EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS University of Surrey Fixed term for 3 years Closing Date: Monday 26 July 2021 https://jobs.surrey.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=032521
A postdoctoral research position in the field of experimental nuclear physics is available at the University of Surrey. The position will support a programme of nuclear structure, funded under a recent STFC consolidated grant award.
The programme of work is aimed to contribute to the understanding of the behaviour of heavy neutron-rich nuclei under extreme conditions through exploitation of the new generation of exotic-beam facilities. It will focus on investigating the structural properties of nuclei, which are key to understanding both shell-gap persistence and r-process nucleosynthesis. It will explore phenomena such as prolate-oblate shape evolution and K-isomerism, which are highly sensitive to the details of nuclear models. Objectives include understanding the evolution of collective nuclear properties such as quadrupole and triaxial deformations with increasing neutron number, and probing the limits of effective shell-model interactions for neutron-rich nuclei.
The postdoctoral researcher's responsibility will include the technical organisation of overseas experiments, setting up complex detector arrangements and maintaining the STFC funded LaBr3 fast-timing FATIMA array and associated electronics. The position will involve work with radioactive rare isotope beams at laboratories including GSI/FAIR, CERN/ISOLDE, RIKEN etc. The candidate will be encouraged in the development of their own research programme.
The successful candidate will be an integral member of the experimental nuclear physics group and will be involved in the activities aimed to study the structure of heavy neutron-rich nuclei. They will join an established group studying isomeric and beta-unstable nuclei at the limits of experimental accessibility, using gamma-ray, charged-particle and storage-ring techniques. Candidates should have a proven track record of research contributions in experimental nuclear physics.
Informal enquiries about this vacancy can be made to Professor Zsolt Podolyák (z.podolyak@surrey.ac.uk), Professor Paddy Regan (p.regan@surrey.ac.uk) and Professor Alison Bruce (alison.bruce@brighton.ac.uk).
The position is fixed term for 3 years.
