Academic Careers at IU

The IU experimental nuclear physics group has an active and diverse program addressing fundamental questions in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics/cosmology. Group members are leaders in a wide range of experiments, including: investigations of the flavor and spin structure of the nucleon using the STAR detector at RHIC and Belle II at KEK; studies of parity and time reversal violation between nucleons at NIST, SNS, LANSCE, JPARC, JLAB, and FRM, measurements of neutrino properties at Fermilab, SNS, SURF, and LNGS, neutron decay and neutron interferometry at NIST, LANSCE, SNS, ISIS, and ILL and searches for possible exotic spin-dependent interactions. The group is a part of the Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM) at IU which includes research in experimental condensed matter and theoretical nuclear physics. Group members include professional staff in electronics, mechanical engineering, cryogenic design, and machinists, as well as graduate and undergraduate students. Local facilities include a low-energy neutron source (LENS) available for neutron detector development and testing, high-bay facilities for large-scale fabrication, professional and student machine shops, a polarized 3He lab, a dilution refrigerator, and a vibration isolated lab for weak force measurement. The laboratory possesses infrastructure on a scale which enables us to make major hardware contributions to experiments. Opportunities are available on all major research projects.

At least 3 years of training in a PhD in experimental subatomic physics or precision measurement is required.
