The University of Vienna (15 faculties, 4 centres, about 188 fields of study, approx. 9.700 members of staff, more than 92.000 students) seeks to fill the position of a University Assistant (post doc) at the Isotope Physics group as soon as possible .

The Isotope Physics group operates the Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA), an internationally well-established facility for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). A strength of VERA is the capability to perform state-of-the-art measurements all across the nuclear chart. Extending the AMS method to isotopes previously difficult or impossible to measure with a 3MV-accelerator is a particularly important research activity. We are looking for candidates especially qualified to explore and utilize a TIMS ion source for ion-laser interactions and ion-gas reactions of slow molecular anions.
