Assistant Professor Experimental Low Energy Nuclear Physics
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee Knoxville invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Experimental Low Energy Nuclear Physics (LENP). The successful applicant will have a PhD in Physics or related field, several years of post-PhD experience, and a strong research record in Experimental LENP as evidenced by a publication record. The candidate is expected to define a vital program in nuclear structure, reactions, and/or nuclear astrophysics that will attract independent external research funding and provide state-of-the-art training for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The successful candidate will contribute to the teaching mission of the department at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The experimental LENP group at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UT) leads experiments at user facilities in the US, and worldwide, using decay and low-energy nuclear reaction techniques to study the structure of the atomic nucleus and its interactions, particularly those relevant to element production through the astrophysical r- and rp-processes. This research is strongly aligned with the program of the Facility for Rare Ion Beams (FRIB). Our group has led the development and construction of the Versatile Array for Neutron Detection at Low Energies (VANDLE) and the Hybrid Array for Gamma Ray Detection (HAGRiD) and is at the cutting-edge of developments with digital data acquisition used for decay and reaction studies. UT is a key member of the Center of Excellence for Radioactive Ion Beam Studies for Stewardship Science, funded by the National Nuclear Security Agency, and maintains significant funding from the DOE Office of Science. UT has an established partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) through the Joint Institute for Nuclear Physics and Applications. The successful candidate is expected to strengthen the UT LENP group program and will be encouraged to explore research opportunities at the future FRIB facility. This appointment is expected to begin August 1, 2017.
