Department of Physics Postdoctoral Position in the Quantum Monte Carlo Group
The Quantum Monte Carlo group in the Physics Department at Washington University in St. Louis is anticipating an opening for a postdoctoral position on nuclear many-body theory starting in Fall 2023 (dates are flexible).
The successful candidate will be working with Profs. Piarulli and Pastore, and collaborators. The group research interests cover a broad range of topics, including nuclear structure, electroweak structure and reactions, neutrinoless double beta decay, electron and neutrino scattering off light- to medium-mass nuclei, and infinite nucleonic matter. Further information on our group and its research activities can be found at: https://physics.wustl.edu/quantum-monte-carlo-group .
Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in nuclear theory or a closely related field by the beginning of the postdoctoral appointment. Experience in high-performance computing and/or Bayesian methods and/or reaction theory and/or machine-learning methods is preferred.
The appointment will be for two years (renewal for a third year is probable, but is contingent on funding availability). Interested candidates should submit an application that includes a cover letter, a curriculum vitae with a complete list of publications, a statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation to: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22879
Questions regarding the position should be addressed to Prof. Piarulli (mpiarulli@physics.wustl.edu).
Our selection process will start immediately and proceed until the position is filled.
Each year Washington University publishes a Safety and Security brochure that details what to do and whom to contact in an emergency. This report also publishes the federally required annual security and fire safety reports, containing campus crime and fire statistics as well as key university policies and procedures. You may access the Safety and Security brochure at https://police.wustl.edu/clery-reports-logs/.
