Post Doctoral Research Associate (IRC45784)
£26,610 - £34,002
Cheshire
A vacancy exists for a three year fixed term research physicist in the Nuclear Physics
Group (NPG) at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. The NPG takes a leading role in a number
of major international collaborations and co-ordinates and supports the experimental
research activities of the UK Nuclear Physics Community.
The post holder will work on a research programme to study shell structure of exotic
nuclei rotating at high angular momentum. The post holder will be expected to lead
and drive an internationally competitive research programme in this area. This
research will be performed at international accelerator facilities using the latest
spectrometers for gamma-ray and charged particle detection.
The post holder will work closely with physicists and engineers from the Laboratory
and UK Universities, and will collaborate with employees from overseas institutions.
The post holder should have experience in experimental nuclear physics research and
will be expected to be familiar with modern nuclear spectroscopy, its techniques and
analysis methods. A willingness to travel and ability to communicate effectively, and to
operate in a large multinational collaboration is essential. The post holder should have
a PhD in experimental nuclear physics.
