Job description:
The Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) is an institutional cooperation of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research GmbH in Darmstadt. It links the academic world of a university with the scientific possibilities of an internationally renowned unique large-scale accelerator center for ions. In the coming years the new international accelerator facility FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), one of the largest research projects worldwide, will be built in Darmstadt.
The HIM research section Superheavy Element Physics invites outstanding candidates to apply for a
Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Mass Spectrometry (all genders)
Reference number: 24.51-4314
for a two-year contract starting at the earliest possible date.
The position is embedded in the project on Penning-trap mass spectrometry of actinides and transactinides at the GSI in Darmstadt within the SHIPTRAP project in cooperation with the Helmholtz Institute in Mainz. The main goal of this activity is the investigation of the nuclear structure of the heaviest elements by mass spectrometry. In addition, the project aims at the development and implementation of novel approaches in mass spectrometry with Penning traps and in combination with related techniques.
Your tasks:
The successful candidate is expected to
- perform mass measurements of heavy radionuclides with SHIPTRAP,
- develop methods for mass spectrometry of actinides and transactinides,
- simulate and design experimental apparatus for ion manipulation, contributing in improving the performance of the SHIPTRAP setup
- participate in experiments for the investigation of actinides and transactinide carried out by the SHE physics section,
- analyze experimental data and prepare scientific publications,
- contribute to the supervision of Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral students.
Your profile:
We expect
- a PhD in experimental nuclear physics or a similar field,
- sound experience in mass spectrometry and ion traps,
- experience in mass spectrometry of radionuclides at accelerator facilities,
- good communication skills in English (both verbal and written).
Knowledge in software development for experiment control, simulation software and data analysis is desirable.
We offer a fixed-term 2-years postdoc position with the salary and benefits based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund) effective at GSI.
GSI and HIM encourage the professional development of women and welcome women to feel particularly addressed by the call for applications.
Severely disabled persons are given preference when equally qualified.
Information about FAIR and GSI is available at www.gsi.de and www.fair-center.eu .
Inquiries concerning the position can be sent to Prof. Dr. Michael Block m.block(at)gsi.de.
If you find this position interesting, please send us your full application documents, stating the Posting ID (24.51-4314), to the following address by 03.05.2024 at the latest:
