Postdoctoral Fellow, Physics (Nuclear / Precision Measurement)

About the role

The IU experimental nuclear physics group focuses on fundamental questions in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics/cosmology. Members lead experiments such as investigating the flavor and spin structure of the nucleon, studying parity and time reversal violation, measuring neutrino properties, and searching for exotic spin-dependent interactions.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to ongoing research projects in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics/cosmology.
• Participate in experiments at various national laboratories and facilities, including STAR at RHIC, Belle II at KEK, NIST, SNS, LANSCE, JPARC, JLAB, FRM, Fermilab, SURF, LNGS, and more.
• Work with professional staff in electronics, mechanical engineering, cryogenic design, and machinists.
• Collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students and utilize local facilities like the low-energy neutron source (LENS), high-bay facilities, professional and student machine shops, a polarized 3He lab, a dilution refrigerator, and a vibration isolated lab for weak force measurement.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of training in a PhD in experimental subatomic physics or precision measurement is required.

Qualifications

• Additional qualifications include experience in experimental subatomic physics or precision measurement.

Skills

• Strong background in experimental subatomic physics or precision measurement.

Benefits

• Opportunities are available on all major research projects.

Pay

• Salary and rank details are not specified in the posting.

Schedule

• Starting dates can be adjusted to suit the candidates.
