[Neutron] Postdoctoral position at the University of Sydney and ANSTO

[Christopher Ling]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Materials Chemistry/Physics
School of Chemistry, University of Sydney; and Bragg Institute, ANSTO  
(Australia)

This Australian Research Council-funded project is based around the  
use of diffuse X-ray and neutron scattering to investigate the role of  
local structural features in functional oxides, such as relaxor  
ferroelectrics and fast-ion conductors. Applications are invited for a  
postdoctoral fellowship involving sample preparation, including single  
crystal growth; physical property characterisation; synchrotron X-ray  
and neutron scattering experiments; and ab initio (DFT) modelling of  
local structure and dynamics.

The position is full time from late 2009 for two years subject to the  
completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees, with  
the possibility of a further offer for up to one year (contingent upon  
funding). Please note that applicants must be eligible for the  
security clearance required to access the OPAL research reactor at  
ANSTO.


Remuneration package: AU$79,845-85,717 p.a. (consisting of a base  
salary, leave loading and up to 17% employer’s contribution to  
superannuation).
