The School of Engineering Sciences and the Department of Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is offering 1-2 postdoctoral positions in Experimental Nuclear Physics, with a focus on high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy of atomic nuclei far from stability and preparations for experiments within the NUSTAR science programme at the international research facility FAIR.
About the project:
The project has two main focus areas:
- high-resolution spectroscopy of exotic atomic nuclei and preparations for experiments with the DESPEC Germanium Array Spectrometer (DEGAS) and
- the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA). DEGAS and AGATA will be placed at the low-energy branch of the Super-FRS separator at the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), Darmstadt, Germany
Qualifications:
- Candidates should hold a PhD in Experimental Nuclear Physics or a related subject, obtained not more than three years.
- Candidates may not have received their PhD from KTH.
- Qualified candidates shall have extensive experience with nuclear physics radiation detectors and data analysis tools for nuclear spectroscopy.
- A deep knowledge of data analysis for large scale experiments in nuclear structure physics is a special advantage.
- Applicants should be highly motivated to perform high-level fundamental research and be able to work independently and as part of a team.
- An excellent command of the English language is required.
