[Neutron] 2019 US National School for Neutron and X-ray Scattering now accepting applications

[Toby, Brian H.]

Graduate students at North American universities are invited to apply to attend the 21st National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering, which will be held at Oak Ridge and Argonne National Labs from June 16 - June 29, 2019. This school is designed to introduce graduate students to the capabilities available at U.S. neutron and x-ray user facilities and pays for students’ travel, meals and lodging costs. Lectures are presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories and include basic tutorials on the principles of neutron and x-ray scattering theory, the characteristics of neutron and synchrotron sources, as well as many seminars on different measurement techniques and the application of those methods to a variety of scientific subjects.  As part of the school, students also spend eight afternoons conducting a series of short experiments to provide some hands-on experience using instruments at neutron and synchrotron sources, both at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source (June 23-29), and Oak Ridge's Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities (June 16-22).  Further details can be found at https://www.aps.anl.gov/nx.

Applications must be submitted by March 4. The application process is quite competitive and requires submission of evaluation letters from the student’s advisor and two other professionals familiar with the student.
