Post-doctoral Research Associate, University of Tennessee

Post-doctoral Research Associate, Experimental Nuclear Physics

The Experimental Nuclear Structure Group at the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in the experimental low-energy nuclear physics program within the Center of Excellence for Radioactive Ion Beam Studies for Stewardship Science (RIBSSS). The RIBSSS Center is a consortium of nuclear scientists, including those at the University of Tennessee, Rutgers University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, focusing on reaction and decay studies to probe nuclear structure and astrophysics.  Successful candidate will lead the experimental program involving VANDLE neutron detector. This includes implementation of other auxiliary detectors, like currently developed high efficiency gamma-ray detection system HAGRID.  The experimental program will be carried out in US national laboratories and in laboratories abroad.

The UTK group has a demonstrated excellent track record in experimental nuclear structure studies of nuclei far from stability and a strong program in digital data acquisition systems.  The candidate should have demonstrable experience with experiments at accelerator facilities, as well as, good skills in programming and data analysis.  The position is available immediately.

Applicants should apply on-line at http://hr.utk.edu/recruitment/ (posting Physics-13000001A4). Please provide your CV with a list of publications.  Two letters of recommendation are requested.  Any questions regarding this posting can be sent to prof. Robert Grzywacz at rgrzywac@utk.edu.
