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 FELLOW IN RESONANCE IONIZATION LASER SPECTROSCOPY WITH
RADIOACTIVE ION BEAMS AT CERN MEDICIS & CERN ISOLDE
KU Leuven, in collaboration with CERN ISOLDE, is opening a new post-doc
position for resonance ionisation laser spectroscopy at CERN MEDICIS and CERN
ISOLDE.
The successful candidate will integrate the existing RILIS and TISD teams at
CERN and become responsible for the MEDICIS laser installation MELISSA, for
the integration of the laser ion source trap (LIST) ion source at ISOLDE, and
be able to participate in the general resonance laser ionisation effort at
CERN (e.g., laser spectroscopy of radioisotopes and molecules with CRIS,
photo-detachment of radioisotopes with GANDALPH).
We offer a 1-year post-doctoral position, renewable. For more information,

Postdoctoral Researcher Position at IPN Orsay in Nuclear Reactions Induced by
Radioactive Beams
Our group at Institut de Physique Nucléaire (IPN) at Orsay, France is
inviting applications for a position of postdoctoral researcher. Our
activities are focused on the measurement of direct nuclear reactions induced
by radioactive beams produced at GANIL by the ISOL (SPIRAL facility) or
in-flight (LISE spectrometer) methods. We have designed and constructed a
state of the art Silicon strip array (MUGAST) which is an extension of the
MUST2 array and will be used at GANIL in conjunction with the VAMOS magnetic
spectrometer and the AGATA gamma-ray tracking array. The upcoming 2019
campaign will focus on reactions on standard solid or innovative cryogenic
light particle targets. It will deal with a wide variety of topics from
nuclear shell structure and deformation to nuclear astrophysics. Our group
also takes an active part in direct reaction experiments at RIKEN.
he successful candidate will be stationed at Orsay with frequent travel to
GANIL (Caen, France) for setting up and participating in experiments mainly
involving the MUGAST array. He/she will take on a responsible role in the
operation of the array and the associated cryogenic target. The candidate will
be expected to analyze with the NPTool package and interpret data from the
campaigns and present and publish the results. He/she will also have the
opportunity to participate in the elaboration of the next generation GRIT Si
array implementing particle discrimination through pulse shape analysis.
Eligible candidates must have a PhD in experimental nuclear physics obtained
since less than three years or expect to defend their PhD before the start of
the appointment. The position requires the capacity of independent work in
both hardware and software and good teamwork skills. The candidate will gain
expertise in the use of semiconductor detectors (Si- strip and Ge), magnetic
spectrometers and cryogenic targets. Prior experience with such systems and
with radioactive beam experiments will be appreciated. The work requires
programming knowledge in C++ and experience with the ROOT analysis framework.
This is a fixed term two year appointment starting on April 1st 2019 or as
soon as possible thereafter.
