https://careers.msu.edu/cw/en-us/job/503674/research-associatefixed-term
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University is approaching completion and commencement of user operation in early 2022. The FRIB high-power superconducting linear accelerator has already been demonstrated to accelerate ion beams to the design energy of 200 MeV/u to produce rare isotopes. FRIB is poised to be the world's most powerful rare isotope beam facility, with unprecedented opportunities to study the vast unexplored potential of more than 1,000 new rare isotopes never before produced on Earth. FRIB includes a target facility for the in-flight production of rare isotopes. An Advanced Rare Isotope Separator (ARIS) will prepare fast rare isotope beams with high-purity for nuclear physics experiments.
We invite Ph.D. graduates to apply for this Research Associate position and join the FRIB Accelerator Physics Department. The Research Associate will contribute to the commissioning, development, and operation of the FRIB by undertaking projects and activities to improve facility performance as measured by beam quality, intensity, power, purity, and variety.
Position duties can be adjusted according to the candidate's experience, interests, and talents, but will cover at least three of the following areas:
- Development of ARIS settings for efficient separation and purification of rare isotopes

- Development, implementation, and maintenance of high-level physics applications
- Development and application of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to improve the efficiency of the accelerator and/or secondary beam transport devices
Supports the Accelerator Physics Department within the FRIB Accelerator Systems Division.
Major position responsibilities are the advancement of fragment separator beam physics including:
- Advance the understanding of ARIS fragment separator beam physics for efficient tuning and operation of secondary beamlines
- Physics of interaction of ion beams with the target and wedges
- Develop and support parallel simulation and optimization codes for production, separation and transport of rare isotope beams
- Contribute to the development, implementation, and maintenance of high level physics applications
Execute work to meet project milestones and performance objectives (cost, scope and schedule)
- Plan to perform their work in a safe manner
- Perform work with quality
- Execute the completion of systems and progressive science and technology
- Complete work to achieve milestones and goals
- Motivate employees to build a success-oriented culture
- Follow lab-wide policies, procedures and standards
- Deliver assigned project work package requirements
- Manage resource and equipment allocation for projects and/or systems
- Execute work to meet project objectives
Required Degree: Doctorate -Physics
Minimum Requirements:
PhD in physics, electrical or computer engineering
Knowledge of major programming languages (C++, Python)
Good communication skills
Self-motivated and able to work well within a team
Ability to work with export-controlled technology

Research Faculty position at Florida State University
28 April 2021
The Department of Physics at Florida State University is searching qualified candidates for a Research Faculty II position (12-month salaried). The main responsibilities of this position are the development, maintenance, and upgrades of the digital data acquisition and control systems at the John D. Fox Accelerator Laboratory. The position is supported to 75% by FSU funds and to 25% by the laboratory's National Science Foundation grant.
The John D. Fox Laboratory operates a heavy-ion accelerator, which is used for experiments in Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics research, see also http://fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu/. The experimental devices use highly complex systems for real-time data acquisition, developed from commercially available components into unique systems, optimized for the experimental requirements. The transition from partially-analog to fully-digital data-processing systems is a major area of development activities at the laboratory, in which the successful applicant will play a leading role. The position is responsible for custom software development, hardware configuration, and integration of various commercially available devices into digital pulse-processing and data acquisition systems. In addition, the position is also responsible for the distributed accelerator control and monitoring systems, which are realized with a network of interconnected Labview systems. Finally, the position is responsible for the general upgrades, maintenance, and development of the computer systems and networks around the laboratory.
Required qualifications are a Ph.D. from an accredited institution in experimental nuclear physics or related field, or equivalent qualifications based on professional experience and otherwise qualified to perform assigned duties, with a demonstrated record of achievement in research. The applicant should demonstrate experience in software development for real-time data acquisition systems. Preferred qualifications include demonstrated expertise in digital data acquisition and data-analysis methods and post-graduate research experience in experimental nuclear physics. Applicants are expected to provide three letters of recommendation.

Postdoctoral Fellow position available at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
26 April 2021
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Nuclear Science Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the team.
The successful candidate will work in the Nuclear Structure Group in the Nuclear Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The Group's experimental activities use state-of-the-art detector systems for gamma-ray and particle spectroscopy at stable and radioactive beam facilities in the United States and worldwide. A priority is research at the new FRIB accelerator, which is about to begin operations. There is also a strong local effort at the 88-Inch Cyclotron. Current areas of interest to the Group include new phenomena in neutron-rich nuclei and the nuclear structure of the heaviest elements. The Group has a major effort toward developing and using new gamma-ray detector systems and it is leading the construction of the next generation gamma-ray tracking array, GRETA. The new post-doctoral fellow is expected to initiate research and contribute to the ongoing efforts of the Group.
