[Neutron] postdoctoral position at Indiana University

[Roger Pynn]

Postdoctoral Position in Polarized Neutron Scattering at Indiana University

 

The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the Indiana University Cyclotron
Facility (IUCF) is seeking a postdoctoral associate to work on a project to
upgrade one of the country's foremost polarized neutron reflectometers,
ASTERIX at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). The associate
will be based at the IUCF and will work to design, simulate, assemble and
test new components for ASTERIX.  Included in the hardware will be a new
wide-angle polarization analyzer, a two-dimensional position-sensitive
neutron detector and spin flippers for a Spin Echo Resolved Grazing
Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) option. The associate will be encouraged to
pursue, in parallel, her/his own research agenda using one of the
instruments at LENS (Small Angle Neutron Scattering and SERGIS) and/or by
submitting competitive proposals to national neutron user facilities.

 

A PhD in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering or similar field
is required. A knowledge of neutron scattering is required, and experience
with polarized neutron scattering, especially for reflectometry, will be an
advantage. Successful experience with the design and fabrication of
equipment for research is highly desirable. While there is no requirement
for the research interests of applicants, preference will be given to those
whose research can benefit from the use of SERGIS or polarized neutron
reflectometry.

 

The position is for a two year term. Letters of application, curricula vitae
and the names of at least three references should be sent to Dianne Dupree,
IUCF, 2401 Milo B. Sampson Lane, Bloomington, IN  47408, or to
didupree at indiana.edu. Inquiries about the position may also be directed to
Prof. Roger Pynn at rpynn at indiana.edu. Indiana University is an Affirmative
Action, Equal Opportunity Employer committed to excellence through
diversity. The University actively encourages applications of women,
minorities, and persons with disabilities.
