ORNL is
seeking a post-doctoral researcher with broad expertise and interests in the
area of soft-condensed matter. Candidates with a recent Ph.D. in Physics,
Materials Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or related fields will be considered.
Candidates with knowledge and experience in neutron scattering are encouraged
to apply. Experience on SANS/SAXS or neutron/x-ray reflectometry is a plus.
Strong written and oral communication skills and the desire to work in a team
environment are required. 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.
Purpose:
Works
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: (Include an ES&H statement and an ethics and values
statement.)
·
Conduct
neutron scattering experiments on soft-condensed materials such as biological
colloidal systems and membranes.
·
Develop
the theoretical data analysis protocol needed for the interpretation of the experimental
results.
·
Travel
to other neutron facilities to do neutron scattering experiments.
·
Publish
research results in scientific journals.
·
Maintains
a strong commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of values and
ethics.
·
Ensures
compliance with environment, safety, health and quality program requirements.
Work Direction
and Interfaces:
Reports to
the lead instrument scientist of CNCS. Works with other members in the
Neutron Scattering Science Division and collaborates with scientists in Oak
Ridge National Laboratory and other neutron scattering institutions.
