Job Postings

The Neutrino group at the University of Rochester invites applications for a position as Postdoctoral Research Associate. Our group currently collaborates on the MINERvA, T2K and DUNE experiments. The successful applicant will lead a data analysis from the MINERvA or T2K experiments, and will make a strong and identifiable contribution to the design, prototyping and commissioning of detectors for the DUNE experiment.

The University of Edinburgh nuclear physics group is looking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher in medical physics. The project relates to positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and will involve close collabration with an industrial partner. The post will support the development of a prototype commercial product for PET imaging based on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector technologies.

The Department of Physics at the University of Virginia is seeking a Research Scientist to work in the area of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector development and fabrication for experimental nuclear and particle physics. Candidates with outstanding research potential, an educational vision, and expertise in GEM detector technology are especially invited to apply. This position will be supported by a Department of Energy research contract and is renewable yearly based upon the availability of funds and satisfactory performance.

NSCL's Gamma-ray Spectroscopy Group invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the experimental nuclear science program at the Coupled Cyclotron Facility with a focus on work with GRETINA, the novel US next-generation gamma-ray detector system designed to study the structure and properties of atomic nuclei. GRETINA is presently running its second fast-beam campaign at NSCL, coupled to the S800 Spectrograph for in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments with rare-isotope beams at velocities of v/c > 0.3.

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) is searching for a detector physicist to join the NSCL Detector Laboratory.

Major Position Responsibilities
· Fabricate, optimize, and maintain detector systems for Operations and Nuclear Physics experiments;
· Support the development and R&D of new detector systems; and
· Perform research and development projects to enhance the performance of the facility

The Department of Physics at the George Washington University has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scientist to work on construction of the MUSE (Muon proton Scattering Experiment) Data Acquisition System (DAQ), starting February 2017. The successful applicant will work with Prof. Evangeline J. Downie and other members of the MUSE collaboration. The research will be performed both locally in Washington DC, and during extended stays at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.
