Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Nuclear Science

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory is seeking highly qualified individuals as post-doctoral fellows in experimental nuclear physics and related instrumentation R&D. For an exceptionally qualified individual, an appointment at the Research Assistant Professor level is possible.

The NSCL is the premier rare isotope beam facility in the United States. The recently completed Coupled Cyclotron Facility and the A1900 fragment separator allow the production of world-unique secondary beams of rare isotopes for research in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics. Nuclear Physics research at the NSCL addresses key questions concerning the creation of the elements in the cosmos, the limits of nuclear stability, the properties of nuclei with very unusual neutron-to-proton ratios, and the equation of state of neutron-rich nuclear matter as it may exist inside neutron stars. A number of new instruments are being developed and are being brought on-line.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the NSCL. Interested individuals should send a CV and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to Prof. Michael Thoennessen, NSCL, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 or e-mail to Thoennessen@nscl.msu.edu. MSU is committed to achieving excellence through cultural diversity. The university actively encourages applications and/or nominations of women, persons of color, veterans and person with disabilities.
