[SA_scat] Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in GrazingIncidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering at Argonne NationalLaboratory

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering at Argonne National Laboratory

A post-doctoral research associate position is immediately available to participate in a research team for developing an integrated facility for Grazing Incidence Small angle X-ray Scattering at sector 12-ID beam line at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. GISAXS at synchrotrons is an extremely powerful technique for the characterization of 3D nanostructure in the thin films.

Applications are invited from highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. in materials science, materials engineering, physics, or a related field with strong interest in synchrotron x-ray instrumentation. Successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team developing integrated tools for research on nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Strong written and oral communication skills and the desire to work in a team environment on scientifically challenging problems are required. The candidate will be encouraged to develop his/her own independent and collaborative research by taking advantage of facilities such as APS, IPNS and the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne.

Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief description of research interest possible statement of research interests, and contact information for three referees via the Argonne career web site at http://www.anl.gov under postdoctoral openings for requisition number  IPNSPT PNS.

Technical inquiries concerning this position should be addressed to P. Thiyagarajan (thiyaga@anl.gov). For more information about IPNS, see http://www.pns.anl.gov/
