The <b>Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz</b> invites applications for two <b>Postdoctoral Researcher</b> positions in
<b>Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics</b> within the newly funded <b>Collaborative Research Center (CRC) “Hadrons and Nuclei as Discovery Tools.”</b> As part of a large research community, successful candidates will have access to cutting-edge local research
infrastructure. The position includes funding for research and travel, with opportunities to participate in CRC activities such as lecture courses, workshops, retreats, and social events.</div>

<b>Our Projects</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Our group if focused on laboratory measurements of astrophysical impacts as neutron skin extraction for the determination of the Equation of State of neutron rich matter and the measurement of absolute cross-section of nuclear reactions. We have developed various
detectors and methodologies for this purpose and actively collaborated with theory groups worldwide.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
One project involves working on <b>high-impact precision experiments</b> using the P2 spectrometer at the MESA accelerator to extract the neutron skin of 208Pb, enhancing our understanding of neutron star matter. A second project focuses on using
<b>high-intensity electron beam </b>to study time-reversed radiative-capture processes, providing critical insights into late burning stages of stars.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Candidates with experience in parity-violating electron scattering, or charged-particles and neutron detections, or photo-dissociation reactions will find this an exciting opportunity to apply their skills to groundbreaking research.</div>
