Job description:
We have an immediate opening for a post-doctoral research fellow in experimental
nuclear physics at the University of the Western Cape and iThemba LABS, in the
beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. The fellowship is for two years, with a
possibility of renewal for another additional year, contingent on performance and
funding.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree, or equivalent, and a strong record of published
research with significant contributions in the field of experimental low-energy
nuclear physics. Some familiarity with ROOT and GEANT4 is expected.
The UWC/iThemba LABS research group comprise a large number of members
involved in the study of nuclear structure and reactions, nuclear astrophysics and tests
of fundamental symmetries using both stable and radioactive ion beams. We have
active collaborations with other facilities in North America and Europe and are
simultaneously involved in the development of a local Radioactive Ion Beam
Demonstrator at iThemba LABS.
Interested applicants should email a brief statement of research (no more than 5
pages) and a curriculum vitae to Smarajit Triambak (striambak@uwc.ac.za). Three
letters of recommendation should also be arranged to be sent the same email address
independently.
