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.
