Tenure-track Research Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics/ Nuclear Spectroscopy

The position

The successful candidate will be based in the Nuclear Spectroscopy department of GSI conducting research at GSI/FAIR, including coordination of collaborative activities, realization of experiments, supervision of students and postdoctoral researchers, development of new instrumentation and experimental techniques methods, and the dissemination of research results. The department hosts large gamma-detector arrays, such as FATIMA, DEGAS and AGATA, as well as a broad range of other detectors built for NUSTAR within the HISPEC/DESPEC experiment and contributes extensively to their development.

In addition, the successful candidate will contribute to the FAIR project by assisting the NUSTAR Technical Coordinator with the aim to succeed the current incumbent in the foreseeable future. This activity includes the technical coordination of the detectors, detector systems and associated EDAQ systems, control of TDRs, monitoring of in-kind contracts, organization of reviews, preparation of reports to management and supervisory bodies, and representation of NUSTAR within FAIR with respect to technical matters.

Requirements

- Ph.D. in experimental Nuclear Physics,

- Experience in the field of nuclear spectroscopy preferably working at an international facility or in an international collaboration,

- Demonstrable knowledge of principles and techniques pertaining to nuclear science and experimental research

- Excellent communication, planning, and organizational skills both verbally and through written documents to peers.
