Position Summary
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking outstanding candidates for a midcareer position at the rank of associate professor in experimental nuclear science establishing a program aimed at highprecision measurements of nuclear groundstate properties for nuclear structure studies nuclear astrophysics and fundamental symmetry tests. Examples of areas of interest include but are not limited to highprecision mass measurements laser spectroscopy and intrap decay studies of rare isotopes. The successful candidate will lead highprecision measurements of nuclear groundstate properties beam stopping and lowenergy beam manipulation in support of precision experiments with stopped and reaccelerated beams.
The successful candidate is expected to:
- hold a doctoral degree in nuclear physics atomic physics nuclear chemistry or a related field
- have at least seven years of relevant experience past doctoral degree
- have a strong recognized scientific record of research in experimental lowenergy nuclear science and related technical developments
- lead a sponsored worldclass experimental research program at FRIB aimed at highprecision measurements of nuclear groundstate properties for nuclear structure studies nuclear astrophysics and fundamental symmetry tests
- have demonstrated leadership in lowenergy nuclear science in planning and conducting experiments including building national and international collaborations
exhibit promise to be an effective classroom instructor using evidencebased techniques
be an inclusive mentor to a diverse cohort of students at the undergraduate and graduate levels and postdoctoral researchers
- exhibit a commitment to diversity equity inclusion and belonging and have the ability to work in diverse and multicultural teams and
- engage in institutional and science community service.
The position will be filled at the rank of associate professor at MSU within the FRIB Faculty Position System with a joint appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The FRIB faculty is comprised of 49 fulltime faculty members and is the home of a similar number of postdoctoral researchers and 144 graduate and 139 undergraduate students. Faculty are jointly appointed in academic departments which offer degrees at the BS MS and PhD levels.
