DESCRIPTIVE MEASURES FOR SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING FROM POLYMERS NIST/NRC Postdoctoral Research Associateship Dr. John D. Barnes, adviser I would like to call everyone's attention to a postdoctoral research associate opportunities that are available at NIST. I. General Aspects of the NRC Postdoctoral Research Associateship Program at NIST -------- NOTE Restrictions ----------------- This is a competitive program based on evaluations of curriculum voiate and research proposals. Participation is restricted to persons who hold United States citizenship and who have held their doctoral degrees for less than five years at the time of application. -------------------------------------------- All of the necessary application forms must be in the proper hands by 15 January, so the time to start work on your application is right now. The January 15th competition is for people who would expect to receive their degrees before approximately October of 1999. Information on this program is difficult to obtain because the people at the National Research Council have very skillfully buried it in a mass of information pertaining to the government wide aspects of the program. The place to start digging is http://www4.nas.edu/osepbooklets.nsf. II. Opportunity in the Polymer X-Ray Scattering Laboratory This opportunity is one of many at NIST. Research Associates in thsi position will conduct research that is aimed at identifying methods for making the results of SAS experiments more readily available to industrial end users. The materials being studied are primarily polymers produced by industrial processes such as film blowing, injection molding, cold extrusion, etc. The approach being pursued in this laboratory seeks to develop computational methods for extracting appropriate microstructural parameters from scattering data on these materials. The work being pursued here extends classical work in this area into cases where the microstructures are anisotropic. All research opportunities at NIST are described in a booklet entitled "Postdoctoral Research Associateships tenable at the U.S. Department of Commerce National Institutes of Standards and Technology, 1999 edition." Persons who are seriously interested in applying for these opportunities should get hold of this book and the necessary forms as soon as possible. Contact information is provided at the URL given above. Opportunities in the various divisions of the NIST Laboratory for Materials Science and Engineering will be of greatest interest to readers of this posting. Persons preparing proposals for applications in my laboratory are welcome to correspond with me directly by e-mail. I cannot, however, serve as a clearing house for persosn interested in other opportunities. Thank You Dr. John D.
