Current Cyclotron Institute Employment Opportunities:

Postdoctoral Position in Precision Low-Energy Weak-Interaction Physics

The Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in experimental nuclear physics, with a starting date of summer or early fall of 2008.  The successful candidate will work in the research group of Prof. John Hardy, who currently focuses on high-precision measurements that test the electroweak standard model and other related physics.  (follow the link above for more information)

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Nuclear Chemistry

The College of Science at Texas A&M University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in nuclear chemistry, with an anticipated starting date of September 2008. Applications at the assistant professor level are especially sought, but appropriate advanced candidates will also be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain a vigorous independent research program at the Cyclotron Institute and to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels within the Chemistry Department.

Postdoctoral Nuclear Physics Research Associate Position

The Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University is inviting applications for a postdoctoral research associate in experimental nuclear physics. We are interested in probing fundamental symmetries via precision measurements of ß-decay observables both at the Cyclotron and at at other laboratories. The facility at the Cyclotron Institute is based on a K500 superconducting cyclotron and is currently being upgraded to include accelerated radioactive beams where we are initiating a program to measure a number of T=2 ß-delayed proton decays as tests of isospin-mixing corrections used to extract V_ud from the T=1 superallowed decays. We are also a part of the TRINAT collaboration at ISAC/TRIUMF (Vancouver, Canada) which utilizes laser-cooling and trapping techniques to search for scalar and right-handed currents in ß decay, and are a member of the UCNA collaboration at Los Alamos National Laboratory where we will measure A_ß from the decay of ultra-cold neutrons to 0.2%.

Candidates with a recent Ph.D. in nuclear physics (or related field) interested in one or all of these research programs are encouraged to submit a curriculum vita, including the contact information for three references, to Prof. Robert Tribble, Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University, 3366 TAMU, College Station, Texas 77843-3366, or via e-mail (tribble@comp.tamu.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Texas A&M University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer that is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff who are committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. We strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

Postdoctoral Positions
Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in experimental nuclear physics at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute. Initial appointments will be for one year with normal renewal for one or two additional years. The scientific program at the Institute is built around a K500 superconducting cyclotron. Ancillary equipment includes a high-resolution spectrometer, a recoil ion spectrometer, a fast tape-transport with detectors for high-precision decay studies, and high efficiency arrays for detecting neutrons, gamma rays, and charged particles. Positions may be available in various areas of interest in the laboratory. Applicants should send curriculum vitae and arrange to have three letters of reference sent to Prof. Robert Tribble, Director, Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3366. Texas A&M University is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women and minorities.
