Post Doctorate RA - Detection Physics

The Detection Physics Group seeks a postdoctoral scientist to support nuclear non-proliferation research. The group focuses on fundamental physics, quantum information science, nuclear physics, nuclear explosion monitoring, and treaty verification with an emphasis on low-background radiation detection technologies. Candidates should have hands-on experience in radiation detection and strong data analysis skills. Responsibilities include developing and operating detectors and sample processing systems, hardware and software development, data analysis and interpretation, manuscript preparation, and presenting research. The candidate must be able to both conduct independent research and work well in a team.

• Conducts research and development activities using the theories and principles of physics and chemistry
• Specific research areas range from the structure and properties of nuclei, to nuclear reactions and fusion energy
• Physicists may design, model, prototype, construct, and operate radiation measurement and/or detection systems deployed internationally and domestically
• Physicists routinely engage in complex, data-intensive analysis
