The Nuclear Science Group (NSG) at Simon Fraser University (SFU) has an immediate opening for a two-year Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) position. The group is involved in gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments using stable and radioactive beams primarily at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator center, and using the TRIUMF-ISAC Gamma-Ray Escape Suppressed Spectrometer (TIGRESS) and the Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei (GRIFFIN) spectrometer and their suite of ancillary detectors. A wide variety of techniques are used at TRIUMF to explore a plethora of phenomena in exotic atomic nuclei ranging from beta- and beta-delayed neutron decays, Coulomb excitation, transfer reactions, fusion-evaporation reactions, etc. In addition to these experiments, the NSG at SFU is also involved and encourages participation in selected off-shore experiments. As part of the TIGRESS/GRIFFIN collaboration, the activities of the NSG include testing radiation detectors in the local laboratory at SFU and setting up and maintaining the GRIFFIN and TIGRESS detectors at TRIUMF.
