Research Associate-Fixed TermApply now Job no: 687327Work type: Faculty/Academic Staff Major Administrative Unit / College: Facility For Rare Isotope Beams Department: Facility For Rare Isotope Beams 10049299 Sub Area: FAS- Fac./Acad Staff Salary: Salary Commensurate with Experience Location: East Lansing Categories: Full Time (90-100%), Fixed Term Academic Staff, Research/Scientific, Non-Union Position SummaryThe Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will be a new national user facility for nuclear science, funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), Michigan State University (MSU), and the State of Michigan. Under construction on the site of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) on the MSU campus and to be operated by MSU, FRIB will provide intense beams of rare isotopes (that is, short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth). FRIB and NSCL will continue to enable scientists to make discoveries about the properties of these rare isotopes in order to better understand the physics of nuclei, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society. Until FRIB comes online, NSCL’s ReAccelerator facility ReA3/6 will provide long-lived and stable beams for unique experiments with the broad suite of experimental end stations available. In addition to measurements at ReA3/6, this position offers an exciting opportunity to become part of the world-class FRIB community, and to get involved in planning and conducting experiments at this emerging national user facility that will expand nuclear science into a whole new realm of possibility. Position Overview The NSCL invites applications from outstanding candidates for multiple fixed-term research associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) positions in the area of experimental nuclear science, who will work with one or more of the research groups led by Profs. Daniel Bazin (bazin@nscl.msu.edu), Hironori Iwasaki (iwasaki@nscl.msu.edu), Alexandra Gade (gade@nscl.msu.edu), and Sean N. Liddick (liddick@nscl.msu.edu). Major Position Responsibilities The successful candidates will have the unique opportunity to contribute to (i) the SOLARIS and AT-TPC projects expecting first beam from NSCL's ReA6 accelerator in 2021 (Bazin), (ii) the in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy studies with a focus in excited-state lifetime measurements at ReA6 starting in 2021 (Iwasaki) or (iii) the fast-beam implantation and decay program (Liddick) and the (iv) in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy and direct-reaction program with GRETINA@S800 (Gade), all of which have immediate data-analysis projects available and are extensively involved in the planning for early experiments at FRIB.
