<h4>Competition # 608</h4>
<h3>Postdoc Researcher - TIGRESS TIP</h3>
<p> In support of our Nuclear Physics program, we are
currently recruiting to immediately fill a postdoctoral
research position in our Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy group.
This group is involved in a number of programs
investigating a variety of nuclear structure, nuclear
astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries topics at
TRIUMF's Isotope Separator and Accelerator (<a
href="http://qr.triumf.ca/328">ISAC</a>) ISOL
radioactive beam facility. A large fraction of the
group's research is focussed around the TRIUMF-ISAC
Gamma-Ray Escape Suppressed Spectrometer (<a
href="http://www.triumf.ca/gamma/tigress">TIGRESS</a>),
a modern gamma-ray spectrometer for experiments with
accelerated radioactive ion beams provided by the new
ISAC-II superconducting linac. </p>
<p> The successful candidate will have the opportunity to
lead and support basic research experiments utilizing
infrastructure supported by the Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy
at ISAC (GRSI) NSERC project grant, with emphasis on
Recoil Distance Method measurements of gamma-ray
lifetimes in experiments with accelerated beams and the
SFU TIGRESS Integrated Plunger (TIP). The successful
applicant will be expected to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Lead and participate directly in research with
devices the group operates under the GRSI project,
including but not limited to gamma-ray lifetime
measurements in N~Z nuclei and tests of ab initio
theory techniques </li>
<li>Set up, optimize, operate and maintain TIP and the
TIGRESS spectrometer, its component detectors, data
acquisition system and ancillary detector systems </li>
<li>Coordinate TIP experimental campaigns </li>
<li>Disseminate results as articles in peer-reviewed
scientific journals and at national and international
conferences and workshops </li>
<li>Supervise undergraduate and/or graduate students </li>
</ul>
<p> Applicants must demonstrate extensive knowledge of
contemporary nuclear structure, nuclear science,
radiation measurement, and operation of radiation
detectors. Knowledge of high-purity germanium detectors,
caesium iodide detectors, and plunger apparatus are
essential to the effectiveness of this position.
Experience with both general and scientific computing
and analysis of data from nuclear science experiments is
also required. Qualifications include a recent or
imminent Ph.D. in nuclear physics or nuclear chemistry,
and those individuals who are expecting to complete a
PhD within four months are encouraged to apply. A vision
for leading an experimental program within the GRSI
project, and familiarity with N~Z nuclear structure and
ab initio theoretical techniques would be a definite
asset. Experience with data simulation and analysis with
C++, GEANT and ROOT, beryllium handling and with target
foil fabrication and handling, will all also be assets.
</p>
<p> This grant funded position will be based at TRIUMF and
the term of employment will be based on an initial
commitment to a one year term. This may be renewed
annually for a second and third term, based on mutual
satisfaction and continued grant funding. Salary will be
competitive depending on experience. The position is
available as early as January 2018. </p>
<p> When submitting your application as detailed below,
please include a detailed CV with a list of
publications, and arrange for 3 letters of
recommendation or reference to be sent directly to the
email below. </p>
