Postdoctoral Research Associate or Senior Researcher

Princeton University's Department of Physics is seeking a researcher to develop Penning-trap experiments for quantum sensing and precision studies of fundamental symmetries using trapped atomic and molecular ions. The role involves designing, constructing, and operating experimental apparatus to investigate the low-energy nuclear structure of protactinium-229 and trap and cool thorium negative ions. The position requires leading experimental development, conducting research, mentoring junior researchers, and collaborating with external facilities on long-term projects.
