East Lansing, United States Michigan State University Full time

Working/Functional Title

Fundamental Symmetries Scientist

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 . 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.

The major responsibilities of the position include the following:

Prepare the fundamental symmetries experiments at the Laboratory Communicate and implement requirements for the fundamental symmetries experimentsVerify experiments are within the specifications of the Laboratory Assist experimenters with the design, set-up, and carry out of the experiment Advise the experimenters as they prepare for experiments at the LaboratoryAnalyze their experimentsVerify experiments run according to the approved plan, document experiences, and identify possible improvements Perform research and development projects to enhance the performance of fundamental symmetries experiments by Developing ion and neutral atom trapsDeveloping cold atomic/molecular beam sources andPerforming atomic/molecular spectroscopy Mentor and supervise a diverse group of students within an inclusive and equitable environment  Perform scientific research related to fundamental symmetries using rare isotopes  Publish results in scientific journals and make presentations at seminars and professional meetings  Performs other duties as required or assigned, which are reasonably within the scope of the duties in this job classification
