Assistant Professor opening in theoretical nuclear science at FRIB
25 January 2022
Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking outstanding candidates with expertise in reaction theory for a junior rank faculty position in theoretical nuclear science at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). FRIB theory faculty members typically have joint appointments in the Department of Physics and Astronomy (PA), where they teach and supervise graduate students.
The successful candidate is expected to establish and sustain a sponsored research program in reaction theory relevant to the research conducted at FRIB, make scholarly contributions to their discipline, be an effective instructor and mentor to a diverse cohort of students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and engage in institutional and public service.
FRIB is a world-class laboratory for nuclear science, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science with user operations beginning in 2022. It is home to forefront experimental and theoretical research programs in nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear chemistry and accelerator science, with about 120 Ph.D. students in these areas. FRIB will vastly expand the range of rare isotope beams available to the research community and offer tremendous potential for scientific discovery. The new faculty member will be centrally involved in this discovery.

Two post-doctoral researcher positions in the ALICE group
18 January 2022
https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2011013
ALICE is the only dedicated heavy-ion physics experiment at the CERN LHC. The Finnish ALICE group consists of researchers from the Helsinki Institute of Physics and University of Jyväskylä, located in Central Finland. We work with the Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT) detector and contribute to the R&D on the Forward Calorimeter (FoCal). In the physics analysis, we concentrate on collective flow and jets.
We are looking for two post-doctoral researchers to strengthen our group. The positions will be filled for two years. The work will involve detector responsibilities, experimental shifts, participation in test beam measurements, physics analysis, co-supervision of students, and may include limited teaching responsibilities. The FIT-related tasks will require presence at CERN and on-call expert responsibilities. In addition, the work involves code development and maintenance. The FoCal R&D occurs primarily at the University of Jyväskylä but includes regular visits to CERN. Candidates are expected to be active, take the initiative, do teamwork, and have organization skills.
The candidates should have a PhD in nuclear or high-energy physics. We appreciate previous hands-on experience with instrumentation, data analysis, programming skills with C++ and experience on large-scale computing in GRID or supercomputer environments. Knowhow in detector control systems or electronics is valued. In the FoCal R&D tasks, prior experience on data analysis with sampling calorimeters or knowledge in QCD saturation physics is a merit, but not requirement.
Applications should be emailed to Dr Sami Räsänen, sami.s.rasanen@jyu.fi by Sunday, 6th February 2022. The most suitable applicants will be interviewed. The call will remain open until the positions are filled. The work can start immediately after the agreement is reached.
Candidates should provide a research portfolio, CV and two letters of recommendation. The research portfolio should contain a compact description of the past research work and the acquired skills. The candidates should express their research interests and goals and explain why they should be considered for the job.
