Surrey Future FAUST Fellow

The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world. 

We are part way through a programme of bringing in talented and inspirational researchers to the University of Surrey to create a network of future world leaders in their areas of research.. This fellowship position in experimental nuclear physics is available for a period of up to 4 years in the first instance, with the presumption of permanency at the end.

The role

The position will support the UKRI-STFC-funded FAUST project at FRIB in the USA. The FAUST project involves the development and construction of an advanced silicon detection system backed with CsI crystals to be placed inside the world-leading GRETA g-ray tracking array, and used in conjunction with the S800 recoil spectrometer. This unique combination of devices will allow for multiple direct reactions to be studied using the vast swathe of intense rare isotope beams now available at the recently opened, FRIB facility. In particular, FAUST will enable investigations of weak r-process reactions in Type-II supernovae, the rp-process in X-ray bursts, and the evolution of shell structure towards the neutron dripline. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the existing nuclear physics programme at Surrey, and will be encouraged in the submission of their own experimental proposals.

The Experimental Nuclear Physics group at the University of Surrey undertakes research including both theoretical and experimental nuclear physics, radiation physics and applications. The successful candidate will join an established group studying nuclear structure phenomena and reactions pertinent to astrophysical scenarios using gamma-rays and charged-particles and performing studies of isomeric and beta-unstable nuclei at the limits of experimental accessibility.

About you

This opportunity could transform your research career prospects if you have:

  • Achieved a PhD in physics or other physics-related discipline (or will shortly be awarded a PhD).
  • Created original, inspirational, and realistic nuclear physics research proposals.
  • An excellent track record in research (e.g. high-quality publications, and evidence of actual/potential ability in external research grant income generation).
  • Motivated, led, and inspired themselves and others to achieve their best.
  • Interest in managing and delivering every aspect of a research programme.
  • A growing reputation both within and outside of your current institution for research innovation and collaboration.

About the Programme

When you join the Surrey Future Fellowship (SFF) programme, you’ll join a cohort of researchers who will grow, discover, and collaborate together. You will be supported with a comprehensive programme of training, mentorship, and peer-to-peer support alongside your research. Through a supportive community, world-class facilities, and flourishing industry partnerships, you’ll become part of an academic ecosystem that will accelerate your career so that you become a future leader in your chosen field.

We invite you to come and be part of this hugely exciting programme.
