Job Description:
The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research.
We aim to become one of the best universities worldwide through the talents and endeavors of our staff, fostering a culture that empowers individuals to make a real difference.
The Role
We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow in experimental nuclear physics to support a programme funded by a recent STFC consolidated grant. The work focuses on nuclear structure, particularly the behavior of heavy neutron-rich nuclei under extreme conditions, utilizing exotic-beam facilities. The research aims to understand phenomena such as shell-gap persistence, r-process nucleosynthesis, shape evolution, and K-isomerism, contributing to nuclear model development and understanding of nuclear properties.
About You
The successful candidate will organize overseas experiments, set up complex detector arrangements, and maintain the LaBr3 FATIMA array and electronics. The role involves working with radioactive isotope beams at labs like GSI/FAIR, CERN/ISOLDE, and RIKEN. Candidates should have a proven research track record in experimental nuclear physics and be encouraged to develop their own research agenda. They will join an established group studying isomeric and beta-unstable nuclei using gamma-ray, charged-particle, and storage-ring techniques.
