Permanent & Fixed-Term Posts in SAXS at Diamond
(Posted 06/04/12)
Two positions have come available within the Scattering Group at Diamond. We are looking to recruit Support Scientist/Senior Support Scientists, for I22 and B21. The principal role for these posts will be to facilitate User support during operations but will also involve assisting in the commissioning of optics components and new end station equipment.
The B21 appointment is permanent while for I22 the post is 12 month fixed term (this could be extended for a longer term) . Salary is Circa £26k and Circa £33k for appointment at the higher level. The deadline for the application is April 30, 2012.
Candidates should have an appropriate qualification and experience of synchrotron radiation. Experience of Non Crystalline Diffraction / SAXS-WAXS would be and advantage. For appointment at the higher level, candidates should have a Ph.D and relevant experience.

NSRRC Employment Opportunities Stationed at OPAL of ANSTO, Australia
(Posted 06/02/12)
National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) is seeking candidates for group leader and scientists to lead or join the effort in the development of the Taiwan Neutron Program at Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO), Australia.
Group leader opening is at the associate or scientist level position, and is responsible for the development of neutron research project at NSRRC and the operation of the Taiwan Neutron Program at ANSTO. Two openings of assistant scientist will participate in the operation of powder-diffraction and small-angle-scattering neutron beam instruments at ANSTO, as well as the development of their associated scientific programs. All positions require Ph.D. degree in experimental physics, materials science, or related fields. Applicants for group leader opening must have over 5 years of experience in neutron-related research. Applicants for assistant scientist openings must have at least two years of post-doctoral research experience. Priority will be given to applicants with experience in the areas of neutron powder diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering.
Postdoctoral research associate positions are also available. Candidates with Ph.D. degree in experimental sciences are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a research plan, and three letters of recommendation (sent separately by the referees) to:

Post-Doc in SANS at HFIR
(Posted 13/01/12)
=====================================================================
The Ohio State University
The Subsurface Energy Materials Characterization and Analysis Laboratory - SEMCAL (Dr. David Cole, co-director; http://www.geology.ohio-state.edu/faculty_bios.php?id=171 ), in the School of Earth Sciences invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in neutron scattering for a 2 year appointment with the possibility of extension to interrogate the interaction of fluids with mineral substrates (as planar surfaces or nanoporous media). This position will be part of OSU’s Sloan Foundation funded Deep Carbon Observatory project targeting “Reduced Carbon in Earth’s Crust and Mantle”. Studies will focus on fundamental and applied aspects of the interaction of C-O-H fluids (aqueous; non-aqueous) with solids (natural; engineered) across a wide range of length and time scales with the goal to reach a predictive level of understanding of fluid-mediated processes in complex earth and technological systems. Researchers will be able to take advantage of the collaborative interaction established between OSU and neutron scattering researchers in the Geochemistry and Interfacial Sciences Group of the Chemistry Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and at the Spallation Neutron Source. Emphasis is placed on both static and dynamic neutron scattering from ambient conditions to elevated temperatures and pressures to understand the nano-scale properties of free and confined fluid-solid interfaces.
Qualifications:
Candidate must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Sciences, Geochemistry or closely related field. The candidate must have demonstrated experimental skills and experience in one or preferably several neutron scattering techniques (SANS, NR, QENS, NSE, diffraction). Programming skills are desirable. The candidate should be able to work independently and participate creatively in refining project directions. The candidate must have good oral and written communication skills, and be able to interact effectively with a broad range of colleagues. Applicants cannot have received their Ph.D. more than six years prior to the date of application appointment or must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment.
Contact:
Applicants should send a CV, description of current research activities and interests, and contact information for at least two references to: Prof. David R. Cole, School of Earth Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 432210-1398 (cole.618@osu.edu). A formal job posting appears in the HR section of the Ohio State University web site.
