Los Alamos National Laboratory • Los Alamos, New Mexico • Posted June 19, 2026
Position Overview
What You Will DoThe low-energy nuclear physics team (P-3) in LANL's Physics Division is looking for two or more postdoctoral researchers to work on direct and indirect measurements of neutron-induced reactions. The successful candidate will perform measurements, analysis, and/or development with the suite of instruments located at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). The instruments include the , the , the , the the Spatially REsolved Fission Tracker and TPC (SREFT), , and the , which all take advantage of the unique time-of-flight neutron beams available at LANSCE. These neutron beams are produced via spallation and cover a broad range of incident neutron energies from sub-thermal to 800 MeV. New capabilities being developed include a novel Neutron Target Facility for measuring neutron-induced reactions in inverse kinematics, and current opportunities available to work on the ongoing Outside Los Alamos, experimental campaigns are also performed using charged parti...
