美国麻省理工大学招聘核物理博士后

University of Massachusetts Lowell

The Nuclear Physics group at the University of Massachusetts Lowell is planning to make two Post-Doctoral appointments to help exploit new opportunities in experimental research both at major national user facilities and at our Radiation Laboratory. The current research in the group is in nuclear structure of very light and very heavy nuclei, in Decay Heat studies using the CARIBU ion source at Argonne, and in applied detector R&D using segmented germanium detectors and new bright scintillators. The Radiation Laboratory on campus has a 1 MW research reactor and a 5.5 MV CN Van de Graaff accelerator. The University is situated in the historic city of Lowell, on the Merrimack River, a half-hour northwest of Boston.

We are looking for recent PhD graduates who want to take challenging roles in the existing programs, but who will be encouraged to pursue their own research interests. The successful candidates will be integral members of the research group led by Professors Partha Chowdhury and C.J. (Kim) Lister. They will be expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students, with possible teaching opportunities in the department for qualified candidates. These are full-time, benefited positions. The appointments will be for two years contingent on continued external funding.

Minimum Qualifications:

-A PhD in experimental nuclear physics or a closely related field

Preferred Qualifications:

-Experience with state-of-the-art nuclear detectors and techniques, as well as multi-parameter data acquisition and analysis of accelerator-based experiments
