Best wishes and regards, Emil ------ Postdoctoral job opportunity at Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA: Computational Material Science Center, DMFT-MatDeLab ============================================ Job ID #: 535 Job Category: Postdoctoral Res Assoc/Fellows Position Type: Full Time - Post Doc 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 team of experts in both experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics, aiming to improve our understanding of strongly correlated materials. The candidate’s particular role will be to perform state-of-the-art synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering experiments to assess the structural properties of these materials and analyze the results. The results will be further interpreted using Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) in combination with realistic electronic structure methods, a technique in which the research team has substantial expertise. Position Requirements ------------------------------ 1. Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: ---------------------------------------------------------- - Ph.D in Condensed Matter Physics, Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science or related discipline is required - Expertise in using scattering-based characterization techniques for studying structure-property relationships and the appropriate sample preparation methods are essential. - 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. 2. Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: ----------------------------------------------------------- - Of principal interest are candidates with expertise in X-ray and/or neutron powder diffraction based atomic structure characterization utilizing Rietveld analysis. - Knowledge of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) approach is of great advantage. - Strong data analysis skills and experience in using computers for data acquisition, analysis, and modeling are expected. - Knowledge of basic computer programming (Python, Matlab, etc.) or scripting is advantageous. - A good understanding of the physics of strongly correlated materials provides a great competitive advantage. - Knowledge or technical experience with one or more of the scientific techniques involved in the project is also desirable. - Some experience with first principles approaches for calculating the physical properties of materials is advantageous. - Experience in building and/or maintaining various lab equipment such as X-ray diffractometers and sample environments is desirable. - 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.
