nuclear physicist m/f

NUCLEAR PHYSICIST M/F YOUR TASKS Working within the “Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP)” group, you will: * Act as co-responsible for the LOHENGRIN instrument (recoil separator of fission products) * Act as co-responsible for the FIPPS instrument (FIssion Product Prompt gamma ray Spectrometer) * Support visiting scientists with their fission and gamma ray spectroscopy experiments, and act as Local Contact * Pursue your personal research programme in nuclear physics * Establish new scientific collaborations for nuclear physics instruments by promoting neutron-induced reactions and nuclear spectroscopy at ILL * Contribute to new developments of nuclear physics instrumentation in the NPP-group * Contribute to the processing and interpretation of experimental data * Supervise Master’s and PhD students in nuclear physics working on ILL’s instruments. You will receive training on the recoil separator LOHENGRIN and the gamma-ray spectroscopy programme at FIPPS, allowing you to familiarise yourself fully with the scientific possibilities of the entire instrument suite for experiments involving fission and other neutron-induced reactions. Further information can be obtained by contacting the Head of the NPP group: Dr. Michael Jentschel - e-mail: jentsch@ill.eu (please do not send your application to this address). YOUR PROFILE You hold a PhD in physics and have a strong knowledge of experimental nuclear physics. Some professional experience as a Post-doc in a research institution would be an advantage. The post represents an excellent opportunity for a postdoctoral scientist to develop expertise, broaden his/her experience and interact with leading scientists from around the world. Applications from more experienced scientists able to obtain a secondment period from their home institution will also be considered.
