Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Nuclear Physics
1 month ago
Contract type - Fixed Term - 3 Years, From October 2024
Full time - 35 Hours Per Week
The Opportunity:
The University of Edinburgh is inviting applications for a position of a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Nuclear Physics.
As part of this PDRA opportunity, you will join the group’s work at the international research facilities GSI/FAIR, Germany, and TRIUMF, Canada and play a key role in pursuing new & creative ion trapping techniques to address isotopes at the limits of nuclear binding.
Studies of such exotic nuclei reveal new phenomena, provide an insight into evolution of nuclear structure far from stability, allow stringent tests of nuclear models, and yield critical inputs for modelling explosive nuclear astrophysical phenomena e.g. the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) where there is a strong link between nuclear shell closures and shapes far from stability and resulting abundances. Unveiling the properties and structure of those exotic systems is key to completing our understanding of the nucleus and its internal forces. The successful candidate will support and further develop ion trapping techniques, in particular for high precision mass measurements and analyses of radioactive isotopes and molecules in line with the groups UKRI STFC Consolidated Grant research program.
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce, and eliminating discrimination.
The School strives to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace for all and we are looking to actively diversify our staff. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and in particular encourage applications from people of colour, women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people and other minority and under-represented groups. We aim to ensure that our culture and systems support flexible and family-friendly working, as evidenced by our Juno Champion and Athena SWAN Silver awards.
This post is available from October 2024, full-time (35 hours per week) for a duration of 3 years.
Your skills and attributes for success:
- PhD in experimental nuclear physics / nuclear astrophysics, or about to complete.
- Ideally you will have practical experience in ion trapping and/or high precision mass spectrometry, but applications from other related fields using ion traps are much welcome.
- Experience in nuclear structure / astrophysics research or related fields will be considered an additional asset.
Your application should include a motivational letter, a CV, and details of two referees.
For informal enquiries please contact Moritz Pascal Reiter (mreiter@ed.ac.uk).
£39,347 to £46,974. Grade UOE07, per annum
