PhD and Postdoc Topics

The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz invites applications for a postdoc position in experimental nuclear physics within the newly funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) “Hadrons and Nuclei as Discovery Tools”.
Our project explores nuclear reactions relevant to astrophysics, aiming to provide precise cross-section data for stellar models. We use high-intensity electron beams to induce photo-dissociation reactions—time-reversed analogs of radiative capture such as (γ, α) and (γ, p). Candidates with experience in simulations (e.g., GEANT4), charged-particle detection and photo-nuclear or electron-induced reactions will find this project an exciting opportunity to apply their skills to groundbreaking research.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with a final deadline of August 25^th 2025.
