Research Associate Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics at TUNL/Duke
University
The Department of Physics at Duke University and Triangle Universities
Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) seek a postdoctoral Research Associate with strong
interest and experience in nuclear structure and nuclear reaction studies using
neutron and gamma-ray beams. TUNL produces the world's most intense and
highly polarized monoenergetic pulsed neutron beams in the low-energy
regime. Key instruments for this research include the TUNL High-Intensity Gamma-ray
Source (HIGS), a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and an array of HPGe
planar and segmented clover detectors. The group is currently involved in
application motivated research activities derived from basic research in
nuclear science. Other important components of our research program are
studies in nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics using the
quasi-monoenergetic gamma-ray beams at the HIGS facility. More details can
be found at http://www.tunl.duke.edu/groups/nnsa. This research is funded by
DOE's Office of Nuclear Physics and by the National Nuclear Security
Administration.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief statement of present
research activities, and should have three letters of recommendation mailed
to:

Research Associate Position in Nuclear Physics.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North
Carolina invites applications for Research Associate position in
experimental nuclear physics. The successful candidate must have a
Ph.D. in nuclear physics and is expected to conduct a major part of
his/her research at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory
(TUNL) which is an internationally recognized center for nuclear
physics that is staffed by faculty from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke U. and North Carolina State U. More
details about TUNL may be found at http://www.tunl.duke.edu. We are
particularly interested in identifying individuals with strong
interest in applications of nuclear physics.
Applications should be submitted to
nuclear-search-2008@physics.unc.edu as PDF format attachments. If
necessary, hard copy versions may be addressed to Nuclear Physics
Search, c/o Ms. Cassandra Houston, CB# 3255, Dept. of Physics &
Astronomy, UNC Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3255. Required materials are a
curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research interests and three letters of
recommendation to be send directly to the Search Committee.
Applications completed before August 15th, 2008 will receive full
consideration. Further information about this position can be
obtained by contacting Prof. H.J. Karwowski at khugon@physics.unc.edu.

Research Associate Position in Experimental Low-Energy Nuclear Physics
The Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) seeks a postdoctoral
Research Associate with strong interest and experience in one or more of the
following subfields: neutrino physics and double-beta decay, few-body
physics, nuclear structure and reaction physics, and nuclear physics for the
benefit of society. The successful candidate will join a group that is
carrying out experiments at TUNL with multi-MeV monoenergetic neutron beams
and with quasi-monenergetic gamma-ray beams at the High-Intensity Gamma-ray
Source (HIGS) located behind the TUNL building on the Duke University
Campus. Currently, the group is also involved in the
KamLAND and Majorana projects. In addition, we are running a local
double-beta decay effort. Our research is funded by DOE's Office of Nuclear
Physics and by the National Nuclear Security Administration.
Interested parties should send a CV and three letters of recommendation to
