Faculty Positions
Nuclear Theory Position - Dept of Physics and Astronomy, Univ of TN, Knoxville
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Theoretical Nuclear Physics. We seek candidates in this field who focus on addressing outstanding theoretical questions in fundamental symmetries and/or neutrino research related to physics beyond the Standard Model. Initially, the appointment is partially funded by the topical collaboration “Nuclear Theory for New Physics.”

Postdoc and Fellow Positions
Postdoctoral fellow position at NSF Focused Research Hub: Advancing Nuclear Theory for Double-Beta Decay
In 2024 the National Science Foundation inaugurated the "Focused Research Hub in Theoretical Physics to Advance the Theory of Nuclear Double Beta-decay (@NDB)." The @NDB Hub contains theoretical physicists and statisticians at the University of North Carolina, Colorado State University, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of Maryland, Miami University, Michigan State University, the University of Notre Dame, Ohio University, the University of Tennessee, the University of Washington, and Washington University in St. Louis.
The @NDB Hub anticipates hiring two post-doctoral research fellows who will join the project as soon as possible and not later than September 2025. These first two @NDB Fellows will be situated at the University of Tennessee and the University of Notre Dame (the Hub Center is at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill). Research at these @NDB sites will focus on the role of nuclear structure in double beta-decay, and we expect the successful candidates to contribute to that effort. Applicants should thus have a strong research record, preferably in the theory of nuclear structure, and display significant initiative to complement their research skills. @NDB fellows will have many opportunities to interact with theorists at the other institutions.
The appointments will initially be for one year. Renewal for a second year is highly probable, but is contingent on funding and job performance. Interested candidates are requested to submit a curriculum vitae, a complete list of publications, and a statement of research interests of no more than one page. Work at Notre Dame will involve the use of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group to compute double-beta nuclear matrix elements, and at Tennessee the coupled cluster method for the same task; research statements should suggest ways in which the applicant can contribute to the effort at one or both institutions.
Please submit applications to Academic Jobs Online, at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28220.
Questions about the positions should be addressed to Jon Engel at engelj@physcis.unc.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
Nuclear Astrophysics postdocs positions at LANL
The Nuclear Astrophysics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory welcomes applicants for open postdoc positions to begin in the fall of 2024.
Applications may be submitted online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28138. Positions will remain open until filled.
