The Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis de Lyon (IP2I) is recruiting a lecturer in experimental physics to join either the Gravitational Waves group or the Nuclear Matter group.
The IP2I is a joint CNRS-Lyon 1 University research unit located on the Lyon Tech La Doua campus, which covers a very broad spectrum of scientific topics, from particle physics in the infinitely small to the study of the universe in the infinitely large. Ist activities are both experimental and theoretical and also extend to transdisciplinary subjects with high societal stakes, such as health and energy.
The Gravitational Waves group is involved in the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. Its activities cover the scientific exploitation of gravitational signals (astrophysics, cosmology, tests of general relativity), data characterization and data analysis, and preparation for future instrument upgrades. The candidate will reinforce these activities, from Signal detection to scientific interpretation.
The Nuclear Matter group explores the properties of atomic nuclei, from their structure to nucleosynthesis processes in the universe. Its research relies on major European instruments (GANIL, Legnaro, Jyväskylä, Grenoble) and the development of innovative detectors, notably the AGATA project. The group is heavily involved in instrumental R&D and the use of advanced approaches, including machine learning for detector analysis and monitoring. A nuclear physicist with solid experience in instrumentation and/or simulation would be a valuable addition to the team.
The successful candidate will develop an ambitious research program in one of these areas and must have demonstrated strong involvement and integration within international collaborations in these fields.
