Postdoctoral Fellowship 
Structure/dynamics-function relationship in new energy-related materials
2 year term with the possibility of 1 year extension
Salary range $72K (plus 15.4% superannuation)
 
ANSTO is one of Australia's foremost scientific research and development
organisations, focused on delivering the benefits of nuclear science to
the Australian community.
 
We are looking for a recent PhD graduate to work on a research project
involving new materials for sustainable-energy applications. We seek a
candidate with a strong innovation focus, good communication skills and
a proven publication record, as well as experience and skills specific
to the proposed research project.  PhDs must have been awarded within
the last three years or be under examination.
 
The fellow will study alternative energy-system materials by bringing
together various neutron scattering methods with analysis using DFT
calculations. Our key goal is understanding structure and dynamics of
these materials at an atomistic level so that their function can be
improved. The materials-function includes separation, storage, and use
of hydrogen in fuel-cells and storage of energy in battery materials.
 
Applicants must have a background in physical-chemistry or materials
science and experience in modern quantum-chemistry calculations.
Knowledge of neutron scattering techniques would be advantageous. This
is a competitive and rapidly advancing field that offers the potential
to contribute to both scientific and environmental developments.
