GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. Currently, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensuring each day to conduct world-class science.

We are looking for an expert in nuclear-physics experiments, with emphasis on the science with radioactive beams and its related technical developments. We invite applications from

PhD Physicists (all genders)

for a Scientist position in the Nuclear Reactions Department

Posting ID 24.150-1240

The R³B experiment represents a challenging setup in the frame of the NUSTAR experiments and is carried out in the environment of an international collaboration. R3B provides the capability to pursue a broad physics program with relativistic radioactive beams addressing nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics questions. During the year 2027, the setup is planned to move to its new experimental hall in the upcoming FAIR facility, where the R3B physics program will start in 2028. With the intense and clean beams from the Super-FRS, R3B will provide novel and unique opportunities for the research with radioactive beams.

The position:

We are looking for an outstanding experimental physicist with a track record in experimental nuclear science and experience in related detection and analysis methods, to support the operation and maintenance of the R3B experiment and the further development of its science program.

The work includes:

• overseeing, maintenance, as well as development of the R3B experiment in collaboration with the local experts and international collaborators
• participation in the development and operation of specific detectors and DAQ systems
• training and coordination of collaborating local and international partners, and
• the supervision of students
• The applicant is expected to take active part in the experimental program, as well as further developing it with own ideas and proposals. It is further expected that the applicant will play an active role in the international R3B collaboration.

Requirements:

• PhD or doctoral Degree as a physicist
• Experience in the following areas:
• Nuclear Physics Experiments and Detection Systems
• (FAIR)-Root based analysis software
• analysis and simulation of complex detection systems
• data handling and distribution
• Good spoken and written knowledge of English and at least basis knowledge of German (a high motivation to learn the German language is expected)
• Skills in organisation and communication.

The position is limited to five years with the perspective on permanent employment in case of positive evaluation after three years. 

Salary is equivalent to that for public employees as specified in the collective agreement for public employees (TVöD Bund).

GSI supports the vocational development of women. Therefore, women are especially encouraged to apply for the position.

Handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.
