Argonne Theory Group: Postdoctoral Position

The Theory Group in the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking exceptional candidates for a postdoctoral position that might, contingent upon funding, which is uncertain, begin in October, 2013. We have a broad-ranging programme in modern hadron and nuclear physics.

The Group's research places strong emphasis on comparison with data from existing facilities, e.g, ATLAS at Argonne, FermiLab, JLab and RHIC; and on planning for and anticipating the output of future facilities; such as FRIB and EIC.

At Argonne we intend that such a position provide an opportunity for post-doctoral training and experience to a person who has recently graduated; namely, graduated within approximately the last two years. (PhD after October 2010 or later.)

Information on our group and its research activities can be found at our home page. We urge those interested in this position to examine and consider seriously the information provided on these pages. The successful applicant will have research interests that complement ours.

Applicants should EMail a curriculum vitae and a clear, concise, one-page statement of research interests to:

• C.D. Roberts
  Physics Division
  Argonne National Laboratory
  Argonne, IL 60439-4843
  USA
  phone: (630)252-4095 email: cdroberts@anl.gov
  

and also arrange for three letters of reference to be EMailed to this address. All application materials should be sent in either plain text or PDF.

Complete applications received on or before Monday 26 November 2012, will receive our fullest consideration. We hope to begin interviewing candidates early in January, 2013.

Argonne is an equal opportunity employer.

Argonne Theory Group: Postdoctoral Position in Computational Nuclear Physics

The Theory Group in the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking exceptional candidates for a postdoctoral position with its quantum Monte Carlo group. This position will be part of our NUCLEI SciDAC-3 effort. Local members of this initiative are Steven Pieper, Lucas Platter and Robert Wiringa. We wish to fill this position early in 2013, but candidates with later availability will be considered.

The group's research places strong emphasis on calculations of light nuclei using variational and Green's function Monte Carlo methods. We are also interested in adapting other ab-initio methods that make use of realistic two- and three-nucleon potentials. These calculations make use of the largest computers; we are part of DOE INCITE and early-science grants that give us more than 150,000,000 hours on Argonne's IBM Blue Gene computers. Comparison with data from major experimental facilities such as ATLAS at Argonne, JLab, NSCL, and TRIUMF is an important aspect of our work.

At Argonne we intend that such a position provide an opportunity for post-doctoral training and experience to a person who has recently graduated; namely, graduated within approximately the last two years. (PhD in 2009 or later.) Prospective candidates are expected to collaborate with one or several members on SciDAC related projects.

Information on our group and its research activities can be found at our home page.

Applicants should email a curriculum vitae and a clear, concise, one-page statement of research interests to:

• Steven Pieper, Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory
  email: spieper@anl.gov
  phone: 630-252-4232
  

and also arrange for three letters of reference to be emailed to this address. All application materials should be sent in either plain text or PDF.

Complete applications received on or before Monday, 17 December 2012, will receive our fullest consideration. We hope to begin interviewing candidates early in January, 2013.
