Role Description Department

The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.

As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.

The York nuclear physics group is one of the largest groups in the UK, with 14 academic staff leading a range of experimental and theory programmes. The group is diverse and focused on investigating strongly interacting matter over a wide range of distance scales - from quarks, through atomic nuclei to astrophysical objects such as neutron stars. The Nuclear astrophysics group utilises world-leading radioactive ion beam facilities as well as stable beams to address fundamental questions on the role of nuclear physics in stellar processes and the origin of the chemical elements.

Role

We are currently seeking a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA), with the possibility of a 1-year extension. This role will contribute to and lead science aspects relating to our current experimental programmes of direct measurements and transfer reaction studies. The successful candidate will be based at York and spend significant periods at overseas laboratories. The work will involve taking the lead in the experimental preparation and data taking for key measurements (e.g. using TUDA, DRAGON, TACTIC, EMMA@TRIUMF, ENGE- SP@TUNL, HELIOS@ANL, etc) as well as data analysis and physics interpretation. The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop their own complementary programme and support the ongoing work of the group.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

You will have:

A PhD in Experimental Nuclear physics, or closely related field by the appointment start date

Strong level of understanding and communication in English

Experience of setting up and running detector (e.g. silicon detectors, vacuum, gas handling and HV systems) and data acquisition systems

Knowledge of the Linux environment and coding in C/C++ or a similar language

Experience with scientific software (e.g. ROOT, GEANT4) and high-level analytical skills

Ability to work independently

Ability to effectively communicate physics outputs in conferences and collaboration meetings
