Postdoctoral Fellowships at NSCL

NSCL offers excellent opportunities to postdoctoral research associates in experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, accelerator physics, and related instrumentation R&D. For exceptionally qualified individuals, an appointment as an NSCL fellow (research position up to five years) or at the visiting assistant professor level is possible. Visiting assistant professors may teach classes if a suitable class is available.
Currently, we have 25 postdocs at NSCL. Many of our previous postdoctoral associates now hold leadership positions at universities, in industry, and at national laboratories.
This is a particularly exciting time to join NSCL. Our new Coupled Cyclotron Facility offers world-unique secondary beams of rare isotopes for research in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics. Research at NSCL addresses key questions concerning the creation of the elements in the cosmos, the limits of nuclear stability, the properties of nuclei with very unusual neutron-to-proton ratios, and the equation of state of neutron-rich nuclear matter as it may exist inside neutron stars.
