Offer Description
Integrate/develop a research program on physics related to nuclear reactions in connection with spectroscopy at LISE and SPIRAL1.
With the physicists in your group, you will draw up an ambitious research program based on the use of GANIL's radioactive ion beams at LISE, whether produced by in-flight fragmentation or from the SPIRAL 1 facility. To implement this program, you may be required to develop one or more specific detection systems.
More specifically, you will be in charge of testing and operating the experimental devices mobilized to meet the needs of user experiments, and monitoring their proper functioning during experiments.
The Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) is a national research infrastructure based on the use of ion beams. Its fields of research are fundamental research in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, the study of materials under irradiation and nanostructuring, molecular collisions and the interstellar medium, radiobiology and innovative techniques for imaging and therapy of certain cancers.
GANIL (about 300 people) is located in France, in the city of Caen, in Normandy. It is managed jointly, within an Economic Interest Group (GIE) by the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA/DRF) and by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS/IN2P3). As a national research infrastructure, GANIL serves the national, European and international scientific community of about a thousand users.
You will be attached to the CNRS Support and Research Unit (UAR 3266) at IN2P3 and will work in the STARS (Structure, Astrophysics, Reactions and Spectroscopy) group, reporting to a Group Leader within the Physics Division, which also comprises 5 other physics groups, as well as the DELPH (Detection and Lasers for Physics) and GTA (Acquisition Techniques Group) groups.
The Physics Division is composed of 25 permanent physicists, around 20 PhD students and 10 post-docs, under the responsibility of a Division Manager.
The division's staff are responsible for hosting experiments at GANIL by an international scientific community. They also lead an R&D program on detection techniques, laser techniques, data acquisition techniques for experiments, and the manufacture of targets and thin films.
This position is part of a program to optimize the hosting of foreigners experimenters on GANIL's spectrometers, and in particular on the LISE spectrometer.
Employee benefits:
Possibility of renewal of CNRS contract. 53 days vacation per year (32 CA and 21 JRTT) - Telecommuting - Participation in complementary health insurance - Participation in catering costs - Participation in public transport costs or mobility package - Social Action Committee.
