NP3M is soliciting applications for several postdoctoral research
positions as part of the Nuclear Physics of Multi-Messenger Mergers
(NP3M) Focus Research Hub in Theoretical Physics, supported by the
National Science Foundation. We seek applicants interested in the
nuclear physics of neutron star mergers from (i) nuclear structure
theory, (ii) neutrino astrophysics, (iii) astrophysical simulations,
and (iv) high-temperature nuclear theory.
NP3M postdocs will have an opportunity to work with any of the NP3M
senior/principal investigators: Duncan Brown, Veronica Dexheimer,
Joshua Dolence, Joaquin Drut, Francois Foucart, Christopher L. Fryer,
Charles Horowitz, William Raphael Hix, Jeremy W. Holt, Davide Lazzati,
Witold Nazarewicz, David Radice, Ralf Rapp, Claudia Ratti, Jocelyn
Read, Srimoyee Sen, Andrew W. Steiner, Rebecca Surman, Ingo Tews,
Ashley Villar. These postdocs will be employees of either the
University of Tennessee, Syracuse University, Penn State University,
the University of Houston, or Indiana University but may also perform
research at any one of the institutions represented by the NP3M senior
investigators. See https://np3m.org for more information about our
collaboration. Applications received by November 1st, 2022
will receive priority consideration. We will continue to review
applications until the positions are filled. Positions are
anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2023. A complete application
consists of a CV, a research statement which summarizes recent
research achievements and details a future research program, a
publication list, a diversity statement (see below), and the contact
information for at least three recommendations. Materials should be
submitted online at academicjobsonline.org.
NP3M postdocs will have the opportunity to work with multiple NP3M
investigators. Applicants are encouraged to contact the executive
board members listed below and/or NP3M senior investigators on
https://np3m.org/people.html to discuss their proposed research
program.
Applications are strongly encouraged to provide a diversity statement.
Diversity, equality, and inclusion are important to the NP3M
collaboration. Applications should include a 1-2 page diversity
statement which includes a description of how applicants have been
involved with DEI efforts at their current institution and/or how they
envision their involvement as a postdoc in NP3M.
We specifically seek applications from women and from members of
groups traditionally underrepresented among scholars in higher
education. We are interested in candidates who have the communication
skills and cross-cultural abilities to be effective with diverse
groups of students, colleagues and community members.
