<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Postdoctoral Associate, MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (http://nrl.mit.edu). The MIT Research Reactor (MITR) is the primary experimental facility of Nuclear Reactor Laboratory and one of five U.S High-Performance
Research Reactors. We are developing high-efficiency neutron diffractometers suitable for both large national neutron facilities and small university research reactors. We are building a novel high-resolution neutron diffractometer at the MITR. Unlike existing
powder and engineering diffractometers, which operate with monochromatic beam, we will use polychromatic beam and multiple bent perfect crystal analyzers. The use of the polychromatic beam will allow combining several analyzers to increase the signal rate
or allow to measure several components of the stress tensor at once. The Postdoctoral Associate will participate in all aspects of the instrument building, testing, and demonstration. The work will include finalizing the design, assembling instrument components
(focusing analyzers, position-sensitive detectors, oscillating collimators, etc.), enabling the instrument-control software, testing and commissioning of the facility. Also, we are designing a focusing SANS diffractometer, which will use focusing mirrors to
enable a compact SANS instrument suitable for a university-based research reactor. This project will require ray-tracing optimization of the design parameters of the mirrors and other beam-conditioning optics and conducting initial tests.</span></p>
