Position overview:

We are seeking a Research Scientist to conduct research with high-intensity primary and secondary beams at the (Super-)FRS of GSI and FAIR. You will develop an individual scientific profile with exotic nuclei in flight, with stopped and thermalized ions, or with exotic atoms or hypernuclei. You will be integrated in activities of the NUSTAR and Super-FRS Experiment Collaboration, participate in user experiments and scientific-technical developments ongoing at the FRS of GSI and prepare for new experiments at the Super-FRS of FAIR.

Main activities:

  • Preparation, realisation and evaluation of experiments of the Super-FRS Experiment collaboration with the (Super-)FRS in the fields mentioned above
  • Development of experimental campaigns in the field of exotic nuclei incl. strategic planning, preparation and realisation of beam times of self-initiated experiments
  • Participation in beam times of the FRS/SFRS Experiment department, with internal and external collaboration partners, mainly at GSI
  • Collaboration in (Super-)FRS experiments and supervision of various scientific and technical activities related to experiments with primary and secondary beams

Education and experience requirements:

  • PhD in the field of experimental nuclear physics
  • Several years of experience in experiments with secondary beams
  • Self-motivated, able to integrate into an experiment team and to work well within the team, with experience in experimental design, techniques, and execution, and the ability to work independently as well as in multidisciplinary research teams
  • Excellent planning, organizational and communication skills, necessary to deliver presentations and prepare written publications, and reports

Desired qualifications:

  • Experience with complex simulation programmes (e.g. GICOSY, LISE++, Mocadi)
  • Experience with data analysis programmes (e.g. root, go4, origin, excel UHV)
  • Experience in data acquisition, software development and modern programing languages
