Our naturally beautiful campus in the Jyväskylä city centre is home to a dynamic multidisciplinary research university – a modern, open and collaborative community of 2,500 experts and 15,000 students seeking answers to the pivotal questions of today and tomorrow. It was here, in 1863, that Finnish-language teacher education began. Since then, the University of Jyväskylä has been serving the future. The dialogue between research, education and society is our driving force. We cherish this balance of research and education, and work to promote open thinking. We kindle the skills, knowledge and passion to live wisely for the best of humanity.
The successful candidates will be expected to play a significant role in the preparation and execution of the experimental program of the project and related analysis, and to actively contribute to the general physics program at IGISOL. The three positions will focus on:
(i) Postdoctoral researcher, mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclei at JYFLTRAP
(ii) Postdoctoral researcher, decay spectroscopy with purified beams at JYFLTRAP
(iii) Postdoctoral researcher, ion guide gas catcher research and development at IGISOL
Candidates should have a PhD in experimental nuclear physics. Experience in (i) mass spectrometry with Penning traps and/or MR-TOF-MS, (ii) operation and handling of radiation detectors commonly used in nuclear spectroscopic studies such as germanium and scintillator detectors, and (iii) ion guides or gas catchers, are considered as an advantage for the three positions, respectively. Experience in analysis of complex data sets and familiarity with programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, or in simulation and designing software, such as SIMION, Comsol, and Autodesk Inventor, are also considered beneficial. Willingness to travel is required.
