Fundamental Symmetries Scientist
Position Summary
Michigan State University operates FRIB as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOESC) supporting the mission of the DOESC Office of Nuclear Physics.
As one of 28 DOESC user facilities FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes or shortlived nuclei not normally found on Earth. FRIB hosts what is designed to be the most powerful heavyion accelerator enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes nuclear astrophysics fundamental interactions and applications for society including in medicine homeland security and industry.
User facility operation is supported by theDOESC Office of Nuclear Physics. MSUs nuclear physics graduate program is a topranked program nationally according toU.S. News & World Report.
This position affords an exciting opportunity to become part of the worldclass FRIB Laboratory that enables unique discovery opportunities in nuclear science.
The major responsibilities of the position include the following:
- Prepare the fundamental symmetries experiments at the Laboratory
- Communicate and implement requirements for the fundamental symmetries experiments
- Verify experiments are within the specifications of the Laboratory
- Assist experimenters with the design setup and carry out of the experiment
- Advise the experimenters as they prepare for experiments at the Laboratory
- Analyze their experiments
- Verify experiments run according to the approved plan document experiences and identify possible improvements
- Perform research and development projects to enhance the performance of fundamental symmetries experiments by
- Developing ion and neutral atom traps
- Developing cold atomic/molecular beam sources and
- Performing atomic/molecular spectroscopy
- Mentor and supervise a diverse group of students within an inclusive and equitable environment
- Perform scientific research related to fundamental symmetries using rare isotopes
- Publish results in scientific journals and make presentations at seminars and professional meetings
- Performs other duties as required or assigned which are reasonably within the scope of the duties in this job classification
