Nuclear Physicist Position

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).
