Project Description: The Neutron Scattering Science
Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks to fill a postdoctoral research
associate position in neutron scattering studies of soft-condensed matter
systems such as dense colloids, artificial membranes and nano-structured films.
This position will work closely with the scientists at the SNS on developing
the SERGIS (Spin-Echo Resolved Grazing-Incidence Scattering) technique. SERGIS
uses the well-known neutron spin echo effect for encoding the momentum transfer
in reflectometry by the application of tilted magnetic-field interfaces. The
research team will be conducting active research related to soft-condensed
matter materials using the state-of-the-art neutron scattering instruments
available in national labs.
Major Duties/Responsibilities:
Qualifications: A PhD or equivalent degree in physics,
materials science, chemistry or related field is required. The successful
candidate is expected to have a background and experience in soft matter
studies and proficiency with applications of scattering methods to
structural/dynamical characterization. The candidate should be a self-starter,
able to work independently and participate creatively in refining program
directions. Presentations at national meetings and publication of scientific
results in peer-reviewed journals are expected. The candidate must have good
oral and written communication skills in English, and be able to interact
effectively with a broad range of colleagues.
Applicants cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years
prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements
before starting their appointment.
