ERC-funded post-doc position on experimental nuclear astrophysics at  INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory

The ERC-project SHADES has an immediate opening for an experimental nuclear physics postdoctorate. The position is located at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory and aims to measure the highly important nuclear reaction ²²Ne(α, n)²⁵Mg using a scintillator-³He counter array and a recirculating gastarget. It is one of the first experimental campaigns to take place at the 3.5 MV accelerator of the Bellotti Ion Beam facility of the LNGS.

The postdoctoral researcher will be a major contributor to the installation and execution of the experiment in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in physics. Hands-on experience with nuclear physics related experimental setups is required, experience with detector simulations using Geant4 and neutron data analysis is advantageous. The contract duration is 1 year with possible extensions. Salary is on the higher side of Italian postdoctoral wages (“assegno senior fascia II”).

Interested applicants should email a curriculum vitae including publication list to Andreas Best (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Requests for additional documentation, if required, will be arranged in discussion with the applicant.

New Research Fellowships will soon be available at INFN - Torino and at the University of Milano

In the next months, two years post-doc positions will be available both in Torino at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, and at the University of Milano in the framework of the SOCIAL (SOlar Composition Investigated At Luna) project, financed by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. The candidate will work at the LUNA deep-underground laboratory, performing nuclear astrophysics experiments and in particular a new measurement of the 14N(p,g)15O reaction. The candidate will be involved in all phases of the project, i.e. setup design and characterization, data taking and data analysis. The project will start next fall.
