*NEUTRON SCATTERING USING POLARIZED NEUTRONS (Ref. # 21011-08)*

*INDIANA UNIVERSITY*

*CENTER FOR THE EXPLORATION OF ENERGY AND MATTER*

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recently provided funding to 
develop conceptual and engineering designs for a new generation of 
neutron-spin manipulation equipment for materials science investigations 
using neutron scattering. It is expected that such equipment will 
enhance the scientific impact of several spectrometers at major national 
user facilities such as the Spallation Neutron Source, the NIST Center 
for Neutron Research and the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. There is 
an opportunity for a postdoc to join this project, which will be 
centered at the Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM) 
at Indiana University and involve extensive interactions with the 
national neutron facilities. CEEM is a multipurpose laboratory which 
conducts and supports basic research in nuclear physics, nuclear 
chemistry, accelerator physics, condensed matter and the life sciences. 
It is the site of a small, long-pulsed neutron source (The Low Energy 
Neutron Source -- LENS) used for research, instrument development and 
education. Information about the IU Physics Department and CEEM can be 
found at http://www.physics.indiana.edu 
<http://www.physics.indiana.edu/>, and http://ceem.indiana.edu. The 
position is available immediately and is expected to last for two years, 
subject to satisfactory performance. Major duties associated with the 
position will include the design, prototyping and testing of equipment 
for neutron spin manipulation. There will be opportunities for the 
postdoc to pursue their own research interests using polarized neutrons 
both at LENS and at National Facilities. A completed Ph.D. degree is 
required prior to assuming the position. Interested individuals are 
encouraged to contact Professor Roger Pynn at rpynn at indiana.edu 
<mailto:rpynn at indiana.edu> or 505-670-9708 for further information. 
Candidates should submit a letter of application (please note the ref # 
21011-08 on all correspondence), curriculum vitae, a description of 
research interests and accomplishments, and a list of publications, and 
they should arrange for submission of at least three letters of 
reference by email to Janet Meadows at jmeadows at indiana.edu 
<mailto:jmeadows at indiana.edu> or by mail to Janet Meadows, CEEM, 2401 
Milo B. Sampson Lane, Bloomington, IN 47408. Applications received 
before December 1, 2010 may receive preference. Indiana University is an 
Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer committed to excellence 
through diversity. The University actively encourages applications from 
women, minorities, and persons with disabilities.
