[Neutron] Opening for a postdoctoral fellow and a Ph.D. student at Roskilde University

[Kristine Niss]

Postdoc and Ph.D position
Roskilde University (RUC, Roskilde, Denmark)
invites applications for a Postdoctoral and a Ph.D. position in in-
and quasi-elastic neutron scattering on glass-forming liquids. The
deadline for application is April 20 2013.

Job description
You will be part of a new research project led by Associate Professor
Kristine Niss. This project aims at testing new theoretical
predictions by means of in- and quasi-elastic neutron scattering. We
will perform a range of experiments in which fast (pico-nano second)
and slow (mili-kilo second) dynanimics are studied as function of both
pressure and temperature in glass-forming liquids. This is by no means
standard in the field and the development of a new measuring cell for
combined neutron and dielectric high-pressure measurement is a main
part of the research project. This is done in collaboration with a
group of international collaborators. The primary tools involve the
use of in- and quasi-elastic neutron scattering methods, available at
international large-scale facilities, and dielectric spectroscopy,
available at Roskilde University.

The postdoctoral position is a 2 year position. The Ph.D. postion is 3
years. Read about qualification requirements, employment conditions
and application procedure on http://niss.ruc.dk/positions.html

Information about the research group and Roskilde University
You will be part of the “Glass and Time" research group. Research at
"Glass and Time" focuses on understanding the universal physical
properties of highly viscous liquids approaching the glass
transition. This problem is attacked experimentally as well as by
extensive computer simulations in combination with theory. In fact
close collaboration and daily interactions between theorists and
experimentalists is characteristic feature of the "Glass and Time"
group. "Glass and Time" hosts several Ph.D. students, postdocs, and
experienced scientists. The most important task of Roskilde University
is to contribute to experimental, innovative forms of learning and
knowledge creation. The University is situated approximately 30 km
from Copenhagen and is well connected with Copenhagen by trains that
run four times an hour.
