Job description:
The Nuclear Theory and Nuclear Astrophysics Program at LBNL anticipates having a postdoctoral fellow position available starting in October of 2017. This position will be related to the Beam Energy Scan Topical (BEST) Collaboration.
Senior members of the LBNL/Berkeley group include Wick Haxton, Dan Kasen, Volker Koch, Jorgen Randrup, Andre Walker-Loud, Xin-Nian Wang, and Feng Yuan. The LBNL/Berkeley research environment is a vibrant one with strong and diverse postdoctoral and visitor programs. We have close ties to the UC Berkeley Physics and Astronomy Departments: our group includes several UC Berkeley graduate students.
Major areas of interest in the nuclear theory group at LBNL include QCD matter at high temperatures and densities, weak interactions and low-energy tests of symmetries, nuclear and neutrino astrophysics, as well as high-performance computing applications to nuclear physics, including both lattice QCD and many-body methods such as the shell model.
The successful candidate is expected to work within the BEST collaboration. One of the tasks will be to develop/extend a kinetic theory code with the goal to faithfully propagate fluctuations, correlations and anomalous currents in a heavy ion reaction. Prior experience with transport theory and its numerical implementation may be advantageous.
The candidate must have a recent Ph.D. in theoretical physics (or astrophysics/astronomy) and the ability to work productively within LBNL’s diverse research environment, including the production and publication of original research and the effective presentation of research results in seminars and at scientific meetings.
The postdoctoral appointment will be for one-year with the expectation of renewal for a second year, contingent upon satisfactory performance, continued funding, and ongoing needs. A background check is required for all LBNL hires.
Requested application materials: Please submit your CV, a publication list, a statement of research interest online at https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=83136
In addition, please arrange for three letters of references to be sent by email to Volker Koch (vkoch [at] lbl [dot] gov)
To ensure full consideration, interested candidates are requested to submit their applications before December 4, 2016.
Women and members of under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
For further inquiries please contact Volker Koch (vkoch [at] lbl [dot] gov)
