Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in experimental nuclear physics, at TRIUMF, Canada

The Saint Mary’s University and TRIUMF collaboration is inviting applications for the position of a Post Doctoral Research Fellow in experimental nuclear physics in Canada. The research group’s activities at TRIUMF are focused on direct nuclear reactions of rare isotopes with reaccelerated beams using the IRIS facility (https://www.triumf.ca/iris). The IRIS facility utilizes novel thin solid hydrogen and deuterium targets, for studying transfer reactions and inelastic scattering of exotic nuclei. The team also collaborates on the active target (AT-TPC) project with Michigan State University (MSU).

We are looking for excellent researchers with an interest aligned with our research activities. The successful candidate will be stationed full time at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre, located in Vancouver, Canada. 

The candidate is expected to participate in experiments using the IRIS facility at TRIUMF and the AT-TPC at MSU as well as work on related future developments. He/she will also have to take on a responsible role in the operation of the IRIS facility for all experiments. The candidate will also be encouraged to pursue independent research initiatives in direct nuclear reactions.

The eligible candidate must have obtained a Ph.D. degree in nuclear science. 

The position requires capability of extensive independent work with both hardware and software. The candidate will be expected to gain expertise in the use of semiconductor detectors, gas detectors, active target and the solid hydrogen target. Prior experience with such systems and radioactive beam experiments will be considered as an added qualification. The work requires programming knowledge in C++. Experience with the ROOT analysis framework is desirable. The term of appointment is initially for one year with possibility of renewal up to two additional years based on continued funding and mutual satisfaction.

We invite interested candidates to submit their application with a curriculum vitaé, a brief statement on research experience and interests together with names of three references who will be willing to provide letters of recommendation.

The complete application should be sent by email to :

Open CERN Technical Fellowship in Experimental Nuclear Physics at ISOLDE ISOLDE / CERN is inviting applications to the open position of a CERN Technical Fellow in experimental nuclear physics. We are looking for an excellent researcher to lead the development of a Multi Reflection Time of Flight (MR-ToF) device operating at an unprecedented ion beam energy of 30 keV. Such a device offers unique opportunities for fast and selective mass separation of short-lived radioisotopes in the future general purpose ISOLDE MR-ToF device as well as for highly sensitive collinear laser spectroscopy.

The latter is pursued at ISOLDE within the ERC supported Multi Ion Reflection Apparatus for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy (MIRACLS). While preserving the high resolution of conventional collinear laser spectroscopy, the novel MIRACLS approach promises significant gains in experimental sensitivity in order to study the most exotic nuclides available at contemporary radioactive ion beam facilities such as ISOLDE at CERN.

As isobaric contamination represents a major experimental challenge, especially when probing exotic nuclides far away from stability, the ultimate goal of the ISOLDE MR-ToF device is to provide isobarically clean beams to the ISOLDE user community.

The successful candidate will play a central role in the design, construction, and commissioning of the novel MR-ToF apparatus. In particular, she/he will lead the R&D programme towards the fast and selective mass separation in the 30-keV MR-ToF device, including its fast online application.

Candidates are expected to hold (at the time of their job appointment) a Ph.D. 

degree in experimental nuclear or atomic physics, ideally with a strong technical experience in design, construction, and operation of ion traps. 

Know-how in ultra-high-vacuum technology, high-voltage applications, design of experiment control systems, as well as (collinear) laser spectroscopy will be of advantage.

The appointment is initially for two years with the possibility of an extension based on continued funding and mutual agreement.

Post-doctoral Position

Subject: Measurement of beta decay properties of nuclei of interest for 

nuclear structure and astrophysics, antineutrino spectra and reactor physics.

Team: Nuclear Structure and Energy (SEN team), SUBATECH laboratory, Nantes, 

France. Number of months: 12

Detailed Description:

The Nuclear Structure and Energy group of the SUBATECH laboratory has 

experimental activities devoted to the study of beta decay properties of 

nuclei of interest nuclear structure and astrophysics, antineutrino spectra 

and reactor physics, in close collaboration with the team of IFIC Valencia in 

Spain. These measurements are performed using the TAGS (Total Absorption 

Gamma-ray Spectroscopy) technique, based on the detection of the gamma rays 

de-exciting the daughter nucleus with a calorimeter. This technique gives 

access to the beta strength distribution, directly comparable to theoretical 

microscopic models. It allows in addition to avoid the Pandemonium effect.

The main tasks of the postdoctoral researcher will be related to the 

experiments described below. An experiment, proposed by SUBATECH, IFIC and 

Surrey, is planned at the Jyväskylä facility in 2019 aiming at measuring 

with a new electron detector beta energy spectra from first forbidden decays 

of fission products which are important contributors to the reactor 

antineutrino spectrum. The study of forbidden decays is also of interest for 

nucleosynthesis processus such as the r-process. In addition, new TAGS 

experiments proposed by the SUBATECH team in collaboration with the team from 

IFIC of Valencia are planned to occur in 2019-2020 at the JYFL in Jyväskylä, 

Finland and at the ALTO facility in Orsay. The physics cases propose, on the 

one hand, to study the Gamow-Teller strength accessible through beta decay in 

the vicinity of 132Sn and to illustrate a recent idea proposed by the team to 

study low-lying collective modes through beta decay. Moreover some of the 

proposed nuclei are beta-delayed neutron emitters and are of importance for 

the r-process. On the other hand, another proposal focusses on cases that are 

relevant for reactor antineutrinos and decay heat.

The postdoctoral researcher will participate to the above experimental 

activities depending on the timing of the experiments in 2019-2020. The work 

will be composed of instrumental developments and data analysis. Applicants 

should have their PhD (in nuclear physics) at the time of the starting date 

and have a postdoctoral experience of less than two years. A good experience 

in experimental nuclear structure and in C++ programming, in particular with 

ROOT and GEANT4, would be an advantage. The candidates should demonstrate the 

ability to work in a research environment, prepare research results for 

publication and for presentation at scientific meetings. The contract is 

funded for 12 months by the region Pays de Loire, and the group may have a 

possibility to extend it for a few months through a European contract.

The review of applications is starting now and will continue until the 

position is filled. However, priority will be given to applications received 

before the deadline of February 20. The job can start from one to two months 

after this deadline or at latest from September 2019.

Applicants should apply through the following official CNRS web-site: 

https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR6457- SOPHUG-004/Default.aspx

Applicants need also to arrange for two letters of reference to be sent
