MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY/ISIS NEUTRON FACILITY POSTDOCTORAL POSITION The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University is looking to fill a postdoctoral research associate position in the local-structure-property relationship of complex oxides. The successful candidate will be located predominantly at the ISIS pulsed neutron facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The research involves using neutron diffraction, including Pair Distribution Function analysis, and scattering to study the relationsip of structure and local structure to the properties of such materials as colossal magnetoresistant manganites and high-temperature superconductors. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related subject. Experience in neutron scattering or diffraction and computer analysis/programming is preferred. Deadline for applications is April 16th, 2001 or until the position is filled. Please send applications, including a vita, statement of research, and at least two letters of recommendation, to Prof. Simon J.L. Billinge, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1116 USA (www.pa.msu.edu/cmp/billinge-group). Further information can also be obtained from Dr. Paolo Radaelli ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Michigan State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
