Dear colleagues,

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will focus on neutron scattering studies of magnetic quantum materials in the Neutron Scattering Division (NSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

As part of a team, you will explore the exotic magnetic states, magnetic phase transitions, and corresponding structural responses at high magnetic fields, using high flux neutron scattering techniques. Additionally, collaborative work will be performed with the aim of developing pulse-field measurements at CORELLI at SNS. This work will be conducted collaboratively with scientists within ORNL and from external universities, providing an opportunity to work in a stimulating multidisciplinary environment.

Major Duties/Responsibilities:

  *   Perform neutron scattering experiments and analysis of resulting data to understand the static and dynamic properties of the materials.
  *   Contribute to the development of pulsed-field setup for extreme field physics using neutrons scattering technique.
  *   Publish scientific papers resulting from this research and present results at appropriate national and international meetings.
  *   Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service.
  *   As a member of the ORNL scientific community, you will be expected to commit to ORNL's Research Code of Conduct. Our full code of conduct and a statement by the Lab Director's office can be found here: https://www.ornl.gov/content/research-integrity.


Basic Qualifications:

  *   A PhD in condensed matter physics, material science, solid-state chemistry or a related field completed within the last five years.


Preferred Qualifications:

  *   Basic understanding of x-ray or neutron scattering is desirable but not essential.
  *
Experience working with magnetic materials, especially single crystals.
  *   Ability to work within a multi-disciplinary team environment on scientifically challenging problems.
  *   Demonstrated ability to communicate research results in peer-reviewed publications.
  *
Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.
