Postdoctoral Researcher in Experimental Nuclear Science

The Nuclear Physics and Accelerator Technologies Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory seeks an experimental nuclear physics postdoctoral researcher to work on indirect neutron-capture constraints that inform our understanding of the formation of the solar system. The successful candidate will perform charged-particle-gamma-ray coincidence measurements at the John D. Fox Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University using their newly developed tritium beams and will analyze data using indirect neutron-capture techniques such as the Oslo Method and Surrogate Reaction Method. In addition to experimental setup and data analysis, you will also characterize the detection systems using GEANT simulations and work with LLNL nuclear theorists and astrophysics collaborators to interpret the results obtained.
