<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">Argonne National Laboratory seeks two postdoctoral appointees to conduct research in data analysis for large-scale Gamma-ray spectrometers. The successful candidates will be hired in the
Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research Group (LER) of the Physics Division and will work closely with scientists in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division. The detection of Gamma-ray emission from excited nuclear states plays a vital role in nuclear science.
The goal of this multi-disciplinary project is to attack two open and connected problems in the utilization of large gamma-ray arrays, namely (1) to make significant improvements in Gamma-ray tracking as it applies to GRETINA/GRETA, and (2) to develop a new
framework for the construction of nuclear level schemes which are the major end products of these world-class spectrometers. We aim to leverage advances in machine-learning, high-performance computing, and physics insight to achieve this goal.</span><br class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
