Job description:
The Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Surrey has active research interests in a wide range of topics and a long-standing reputation in both theory and experiment. We provide a breadth and depth of expertise that enables the innovative exploitation of present radioactive- and stable-beam facilities, while developing theoretical capabilities and experimental equipment to enable the optimum use of future facilities. The group’s theoretical research priorities, which interface ab-initio many-body and time-dependent mean-field (and beyond mean-field) approaches with nuclear reaction theory, are also very strongly linked with radioactive-beam developments worldwide.

Job description:
Applications are invited for a Research Fellow position at the Nuclear Theory Group of the University of Surrey. The post is part of a Consolidated Grant project funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council to advance Nuclear Structure and Reactions.
The successful candidate will work on developing new nuclear theory techniques to study infinite matter in the context of neutron-star astrophysics. The Research Fellow will undertake original theoretical nuclear physics research in quantum many-body techniques, nuclear structure, and/or nuclear astrophysics, extending the Surrey group capabilities within ab initio nuclear theory.

Candidates must hold (or be close to completion of) a PhD degree in physics, applied mathematics or computer science and have a commitment for research in low-energy nuclear physics. Knowledge of many-body and quantum field theories and/or experience with High Performance Computing are also desirable. Candidates should apply on-line, providing a curriculum vitae (including a publication list) and a one-page statement of research interests.
Applications received by 2 January 2018 will receive full consideration. Later applications will only be considered if the positions are not filled.
This is a two year fixed term position.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Dr C. Barbieri (c.barbieri@surrey.ac.uk) and/or Dr Arnau Rios Huguet (a.rios@surrey.ac.uk) for further information. Applicants should make sure 2 letters of recommendation are sent to the contact persons.
