[Cuga] Postdoctoral Associate Position at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) - a message from Diane Dupree

[Janet Prater]

Neutron Scattering Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the Indiana University Cyclotron 
Facility (IUCF) is seeking a postdoctoral associate to work on a project 
to upgrade one of the country's foremost polarized neutron 
reflectometers, ASTERIX at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center 
(LANSCE). The associate will be based at the IUCF and will work under 
the direction of Professor Roger Pynn to design, simulate, assemble and 
test new components for ASTERIX.  Included in the hardware will be a new 
wide-angle polarization analyzer, a two-dimensional position-sensitive 
neutron detector and spin flippers for a Spin Echo Resolved Grazing 
Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) option. The associate will be encouraged 
to pursue, in parallel, her/his own research agenda using one of the 
instruments at LENS (Small Angle Neutron Scattering and SERGIS) and/or 
by submitting competitive proposals to national neutron user facilities.

 

A PhD in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering or similar 
field is required. A knowledge of neutron scattering is required, and 
experience with polarized neutron scattering, especially for 
reflectometry, will be an advantage. Successful experience with the 
design and fabrication of equipment for research is highly desirable. 
While there is no requirement for the research interests of applicants, 
preference will be given to those whose research can benefit from the 
use of SERGIS.

 

The position is for a two year term, to begin September 15 or as soon as 
possible thereafter. Letters of application, curricula vitae and the 
names of at least three references should be sent to Dianne Dupree, 
IUCF, 2401 Milo B. Sampson Lane, Bloomington, IN  47408, or to 
didupree at indiana.edu <mailto:didupree at indiana.edu>. Indiana University 
is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer committed to 
excellence through diversity. The University actively encourages 
applications of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities.
