Postdoc: Research associate in experimental nuclear science

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is seeking
highly qualified individuals as post-doctoral fellows in experimental
nuclear physics and related instrumentation R&D. The appointment as a
Research Assistant Professor is possible for exceptionally qualified
individuals.

The NSCL is the forefront facility in the United States for nuclear
physics with rare isotope beams and is in the process of developing new
research capabilities with stopped and reaccelerated beams. In addition,
MSU has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to design and
establish the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).

Nuclear physics research at the NSCL addresses key questions concerning
the creation of the elements in the cosmos, the limits of nuclear
stability, the properties of nuclei with very unusual neutron-to-proton
ratios, and the equation of state of neutron-rich nuclear matter as it
may exist inside neutron stars.

Currently the NSCL is especially looking for individuals who are
interested in charge-exchange reactions, physics of neutron-unbound
nuclei, and construction of next-generation experimental equipment
including an Active Target Time Projection Chamber for studying nuclear
reactions.

Interested individuals should send a CV and arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent directly to Prof. Michael Thoennessen, NSCL,
Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 or e-mail to
Thoennessen@nscl.msu.edu.
