Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for the position of Group Leader for the Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research Group (LER) within the Physics Division. LER is the largest research group in the division, comprising 11 Ph.D. scientists and approximately 7 postdoctoral researchers. The group conducts world-leading research in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, and nuclear data. LER also plays a critical role for the ATLAS National User Facility, where it provides support for ATLAS Users, conducts its own research program, and develops and operates advanced detector systems.ATLAS is supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Physics and hosts 300-500 users annually from universities and national laboratories in the U.S. and worldwide. ATLAS offers both stable beams and unique rare isotope beams from either the nuCARIBU facility or the in-flight production facility RAISOR.The LER group is primarily funded by the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics. Key responsibilities for the Group Leader include:Manage research priorities, long-term planning, and budget allocationsRespond to DOE initiatives and information requestsMentor, develop, and evaluate staffFoster a robust culture of safety and inclusive excellenceCollaborate with the Physics Division Director, ATLAS Scientific and Operations Directors, and other group leaders to develop strategic plans and set prioritiesBuild productive relationships with funding agencies, academic institutions, and the broader research communityThe Group Leader is also expected to develop and lead a world-class research program that aligns with DOE priorities in low-energy nuclear physics outlined in the 2023 Nuclear Science Advisory Committee Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science.Additional information about the LER group can be found at .Position RequirementsThe successful candidate must have a Ph.D., an internationally recognized research career in Nuclear Physics, demonstrated leadership and administrative experience and ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork.Applicants should apply to this requisition and submit a comprehensive curriculum vitae, a cover letter outlining your interest in the position, and a detailed research statement (up to two pages).If you have questions about the position, please contact Ian Cloët (View email address on click.appcast.io), chair of the search committee and Deputy Director of the Physics Division.
