Postdoctoral Position in Neutron Scattering

A postdoctoral position is available with the Ames Laboratory/Iowa State University Neutron Scattering Group. The successful candidate will be conducting basic research using primarily neutron scattering techniques on novel materials.

The Ames Laboratory Neutron Scattering Group has been conducting research in various areas including multiferroic materials, magnetic molecules, complex magnetic systems, bio-membranes and polymers, and others. Some experience with neutron and/or x-ray scattering techniques is desirable, but not essential.

The Ames Laboratory/Iowa State University neutron scattering group is utilizing U.S. and European neutron scattering facilities for its research and is operating the Ames Laboratory triple-axis spectrometer HB1-A at the High Flux Isotope reactor (HFIR) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The group also uses the APS 6-ID sector in the Advanced Photon Source for a variety of X-ray investigations including soft condensed matter.

Persons belonging to minority groups and women are encouraged to apply.

Please send your résumé and contact information for two or three persons, who may provide recommendation letters for you, to Dr. David Vaknin; E-mail: vaknin@ameslab.gov.
