MSU, located in East Lansing Michigan, is the nation’s eighth-largest university and home to the NSCL, a world-leading laboratory for rare isotope research and nuclear science education. MSU was selected by the Department of Energy to design and establish the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a cutting-edge research facility to advance the understanding of rare nuclear isotopes. The new facility is expected to take about a decade to design and build at an estimated cost of $550 million FRIB will provide research opportunities for an international community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students.

MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
