Postdoctoral
Research Associate</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">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.<span style=""> </span>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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">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<span style=""> </span>47408, or to <a
