Job description:
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking outstanding candidates for a mid-career position at the rank of associate professor in experimental nuclear science, establishing a program aimed at high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties for nuclear structure studies, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental symmetry tests. In exceptional cases, a hire at the level of full professor can be considered. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, high-precision mass measurements, laser spectroscopy, and in-trap decay studies of rare isotopes. The successful candidate will lead high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties, beam stopping, and low-energy beam manipulation in support of precision experiments with stopped and reaccelerated beams.

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. 

FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility and affords world-class research opportunities in low-energy nuclear science since user operation commenced in May 2022. Since 2010, MSU’s nuclear physics graduate program is top-ranked in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report’s rankings of graduate programs. 

Interested individuals should submit an application through careers.msu.edu, posting 968410

For full consideration, applications should be received by September 30, 2024. Applications will be reviewed on a continuing basis until the position is filled. The goal is for the position to commence as early as Spring 2025.

Please address clarifications by email to exp_facsearch2024@frib.msu.edu.
