Postdoctoral Position in Precision Low-Energy Weak-Interaction Physics
Cyclotron Institute
Texas A&M University

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION. The Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in experimental nuclear physics, with a starting date of summer or early fall of 2008. The successful candidate will work in the research group of Prof. John Hardy, who currently focuses on high-precision measurements that test the electroweak standard model and other related physics. The Cyclotron Institute is based on a K500 superconducting cyclotron, a conventional K150 cyclotron and a number of major experimental facilities: the MDM high-resolution broad-range spectrometer; NIMROD, a 4π neutron and charged-particle detection system; BIG SOL, a large-acceptance superconducting solenoid magnet; FAUST, a forward array; MARS, a recoil mass spectrometer; a fast tape-transport and precision-decay facility; and a radiation-effects facility, which is available for commercial use. The facility currently provides light- and heavy-ion beams over a broad energy range, and also offers some low-intensity beams of radioactive ions. The facility is currently being upgraded so that in future a wider variety of more intense radioactive beams will become available.

Interested candidates with a recent Ph.D. in nuclear physics (or a related field) are encouraged to submit a curriculum vitae, including the contact information for three references, to Prof. J.C. Hardy, Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3366 or via e-mail (hardy@comp.tamu.edu). Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.

Texas A&M University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer that is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff who are committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. We strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

JUNIOR R&D SCIENTIST

Physics Division
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge, Tennessee

The Physics Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is searching for a Junior R&D scientist for the Nuclear Physics Theory Program (NPTP). The Nuclear Physics Theory Program is supported by the Office of Nuclear Physics of the Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy. The NPTP performs theoretical and computational research in the area of low-energy nuclear theory as it relates to the physics of nuclei and rare isotope physics studied in the Physics Division.

The successful candidate will be capable of initiating and sustaining a research program in nuclear theory specifically in the areas of low-energy nuclear structure and nuclear reactions relevant to the next generation rare isotope beam facility. The research activity should have a highly computational component to it. The candidate will carry out daily research activities, mentor post-doctoral appointments within the group, and conduct an active visitor’s program. The candidate is expected to regularly publish in scientific journals and present his/her work at scientific meetings and conferences. The candidate will work as a member of a scientific team employing theoretical techniques to advance the understanding of the physics of nuclei and in particular very neutron-rich exotic nuclei. While initially involved in ongoing projects, the candidate will be expected to pursue new research directions and to participate creatively in program development and writing proposals to external sponsors for funding.

Requirements: a Ph.D. in nuclear physics, up to three years of post-graduate work, a strong research record including publications in leading journals and invited talks at international conferences and workshops; strong communication and writing skills. The ideal candidate would have a solid background in quantum many-body theory, nuclear interactions, and expertise in computational approaches to these problems.

To apply for this position, please visit http://jobs.ornl.gov, and reference job #2574. Please submit your resume, references, and publication list in one file. We only accept Microsoft Word documents.

UT-Battelle is recognized by our employees and the community as an inclusive environment where diversity is valued and individuals and teams are inspired to contribute fully to the organization's success. ORNL is an equal opportunity employer.

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics.

The Nuclear Science Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position to undertake research in the area of nuclear structure physics using gamma-ray and particle spectroscopy for experiments with stable and radioactive beams.

Our research activities use experimental facilities and state-of-the-art detector systems both in the United States and worldwide. There is also a strong local effort at the 88-Inch Cyclotron which uses gamma-ray and charged-particle detectors to perform experiments on a broad range of nuclear physics topics. Current areas of interest to the group include: the search for new phenomena in neutron-rich nuclei, the investigation of nucleon pairing, and the study of nuclear behavior at high excitation energy. Our group has a distinguished tradition of developing and using new gamma-ray detector systems and we are leading the construction of the first generation gamma-ray tracking array, GRETINA.

The successful candidate will be expected to initiate research and contribute to the ongoing programs. Knowledge of gamma-ray spectroscopy and particle detection techniques is desirable.
