I am posting this for my colleague Emil Bozin, so please contact him if you need more details. Best wishes and regards, Pavol ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Research Associate - Strongly Correlated Electron Systems Brookhaven National Laboratory, Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department Job ID #: 220 Job Category: Postdoctoral Res Assoc/Fellows Position Type: Full Time - Post Doc Why Work at BNL? Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Located on the center of Long Island, New York, Brookhaven Lab brings world-class facilities and expertise to the most exciting and important questions in basic and applied science from the birth of our universe to the sustainable energy technology of tomorrow. We operate cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. The Laboratory's almost 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff are joined each year by more than 4,000 visiting researchers from around the world. Our award-winning history, including seven Nobel Prizes, stretches back to 1947, and we continue to unravel mysteries from the nanoscale to the cosmic scale, and everything in between. Brookhaven is operated and managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, which was founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization. Organizational Overview The Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department has a very strong tradition of research into strongly correlated materials using several experiment techniques including x-ray scattering, neutron scattering and photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. This is complemented by excellent sample synthesis capabilities and strong theoretical support. The position will also benefit greatly from close collaboration with beam-lines at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. The successful candidate will work within the X-Ray Scattering Group. Position Description Successful applicant will work in a dynamic interdisciplinary group of researchers to study the role of nanoscale fluctuations and broken symmetry states on the properties of strongly correlated electron systems and related materials. The goal is to utilize techniques sensitive to local atomic and electronic structure of complex and nanostructured materials, combined with complementary methods, to characterize and understand the nature and role of nanoscale fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems such as cuprate and iron based superconductors, manganites, charge density wave materials and similar materials. Program involves diverse groups in the condensed matter physics and materials science department at BNL as well as external collaborators. Position Requirements - Ph.D in Condensed Matter Physics, Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science or related discipline is required. - Candidates must have excellent written and oral communication skills, be self-motivated and able to work both independently and as a part of a team. - Ability to interact effectively with a diverse group of scientists and technical staff is required. - Candidates should have proven ability for disseminating research results by writing manuscripts and giving academic presentations. - While principally based at Brookhaven National Laboratory, candidates must be willing to travel to carry out experiments at various national facilities. Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: - A good understanding of the physics of strongly correlated materials is a great advantage. - Expertise in using scattering-based characterization techniques for studying structure-property relationships and the appropriate sample preparation methods are desirable. - Knowledge or technical experience with one or more of the scientific techniques involved in the project is highly desirable. - Of principal interest are candidates with expertise in x-ray and/or neutron powder diffraction, and Rietveld and atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analyses. - Candidates with experience in other related scattering methods such as inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, single crystal crystallography, electron diffraction, or related scattering methods would also be considered. - Strong data analysis skills and experience in using computers for data analysis and modeling are expected. - Experience in building and/or maintaining various lab equipment such as x-ray diffractometers and sample environments is desirable. - Knowledge of basic computer programming or scripting is advantageous. BNL policy requires that appointments be made to individuals who have received their degree within past five years.
