Employment Opportunities at IUCF

With the exception of positions posted internally to current IUCF appointed staff only, applicants must complete the online application form and submit their cover letter and resume through this site: http://www.indiana.edu/~uhrs/jobs/

Postdoctoral Research Associate Medium Energy Nuclear Physics, Ref. #20709-09

The I.U. subatomic physics group has an active program with experiments to study nucleon structure, nuclear dynamics, and the properties of the weak interaction. The wide range of activities being performed by 11 faculty members involve leadership roles in studies of parity violation in thermal neutron-proton capture at LANSCE, flavor and spin structure of the nucleon at RHIC with the STAR detector, and neutrino oscillations with the miniBooNE experiment at Fermilab. Local facilities include a 200 MeV cyclotron and a low energy neutron source. While the major programs on these no longer include nuclear physics, they do provide excellent facilities for development and testing. The laboratory also provides excellent personnel infrastructure to enable strong participation in major off-site projects. Opportunities are available on all major research projects. For further information, please access our website at http://www.iucf.indiana.edu.

Initial appointments as postdoctoral research associate will be for one year, with possible renewal for two additional years. A Ph.D. in experimental subatomic physics is required. Applications for postdoctoral positions are accepted on a continuing basis and starting dates can be adjusted to suit the situation of the candidates.Send résumé, bibliography and contact information for three references to:

Postdoctoral Position in Nuclear Chemistry

A postdoctoral position will be available starting October 1st, 2007 in the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University, Bloomington, for a recent nuclear science Ph.D. This position is within the Nuclear Chemistry group at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). The group utilizes intermediate energy heavy-ion reactions to learn about the properties of nuclei and nuclear matter away from stability. Experiments are conducted using accelerators at MSU-NSCL, TAMU, and GANIL (France). The successful applicant will be expected to participate in all aspects of group research including data analysis, execution of experiments, and construction of novel detectors and electronics. At present the group is primarily engaged in the calibration and analysis of the reaction 124,136Xe + 112,124Sn at E/A=50 MeV recently completed at GANIL. In this experiment both charged particles and neutrons produced in the reaction were measured. Familiarity with standard analysis tools and experimental equipment is expected. More information about the research group is available at http://nuchem.iucf.indiana.edu

To apply for the position send a CV and arrange for two letters of reference to be sent here.

Postdoctoral Positions at the Low Energy Neutron Source, Ref. #20512-4

The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility is seeking applicants for several post-doctoral positions. Research at LENS itself includes the development of instrumentation for Small Angle Neutron scattering, reflectometry, and spin-echo techniques and the application of these techniques to problems in complex fluids, hydrogen storage, nano-structured materials, membranes, and other areas of condensed matter physics. In addition, LENS is developing partnerships with both national and international neutron facilities (e.g. NIST, HMI, and the SNS) for investigating inelastic neutron scattering, novel instrumentation, and advanced moderator systems. We expect to fill at least one position within the next 6 months, with additional appointments anticipated over the next two years.

Interested applicants should send a curriculum vita and a statement of research interests and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to:
