美国北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校博士后职位—实验核物理研究

Post-Doc Research Associate

University Of North Carolina- Chapel Hill

Description

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has an opening for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work in the area of nuclear astrophysics. The focus of the group is on direct and indirect measurements of nuclear reactions that occur in stars. This work directly impacts our understanding of the nucleosynthesis in stellar explosions, globular cluster stars, or presolar stardust grains. The successful applicant is expected to have experience in experimental nuclear physics research, preferably including work with ion accelerators, radiation detectors, data acquisition, and nuclear reaction codes. Experiments will mainly be performed at the Laboratory for Experimental Nuclear Astrophysics (LENA), the Enge Spectrograph, and the High-Intensity gamma-ray Source (HIGS), all of which are located at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). Other experiments may take place at other facilities.

TUNL is one of four Department of Energy Nuclear Physics Centers of Excellence, with affiliated experimental and theoretical faculty from Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Located on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, TUNL draws collaborators worldwide, with opportunities in both accelerator and non- accelerator-based research.
