Position Summary

Michigan State University operates FRIB as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.

As one of 28 DOE-SC user facilities, FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes, or short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth. FRIB hosts what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry.

User facility operation is supported by the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. MSU’s nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report.

This position affords an exciting opportunity to become part of the world-class FRIB Laboratory that enables unique discovery opportunities in nuclear science.

Major Position Duties/Responsibilities

  • Evaluate nuclear structure and decay data relevant to the research at FRIB for the ENSDF (Experimental Nuclear Structure and Decay File) database of the United States Nuclear Data Program (USNDP).
  • Compile nuclear structure and decay data from newly-published journal papers and all data from FRIB for the XUNDL (Experimental Unevaluated Nuclear Data List) database of USNDP.
  • Develop, carry out, or participate in research activities at FRIB relevant to nuclear structure and decay data.
  • Communicate with FRIB users regularly and provide nuclear data support to scheduled experiments.
