The International Research Laboratory for Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics (IRLNPA) is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in theoretical nuclear and astro-nuclear physics. The IRLNPA is a new institution jointly created by CNRS (France) and MSU/FRIB (USA). It is located at FRIB and promotes collaborations between CNRS and FRIB researchers. Further information about IRLNPA and its research activities can be found at https://npa.in2p3.fr.
The successful candidate will work at the frontier in heavy-ion collisions, finite nuclei, and neutron stars with a supervision team composed of P. Danielewicz, W. Lynch, J. Margueron, and B. Tsang.
The position is for two years and the position is at FRIB on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. Successful candidate must be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate authorization to work in the United States (ex. J-1).

The application file shall contain a CV, a complete list of publications, including papers in preparation, a short statement of research interests, and eventually, one or two recommendation letter(s) (which can be sent directly to the contact person).
Applicants must have a PhD in theoretical physics or a related field completed before the start date of the postdoctoral position. Preference will be made for candidates with no more than 4 years of postdoctoral experience. The candidates will be selected according to their proximity to the project. Knowledge in numerical methods and computer languages, such as Python, C, or Fortran95, will also be appreciated.
