<DIV align=center><STRONG><FONT size=3>Postdoctoral Fellowship-<BR>New
energy-related materials<BR></FONT>2-year terms + possible 1 year
extension<BR>Salary range: A$66,451 (plus superannuation)</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR>ANSTO is one of Australia’s foremost scientific research and
development organisations, focused on delivering the benefits of nuclear science
to the Australian community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A fellowship is available to study alternative energy systems and materials
using neutron scattering methods, in the area of hydrogen research (including
separation, storage, and use in fuel-cells) and energy transport (including fuel
cell and battery materials).<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Applicants must have a background in physical-chemistry or materials
science. We seek an experimentalist to work across a variety of neutron
scattering instruments with many sample environments, including those specially
developed for this research. The experimental work will be backed-up by advanced
analysis, including modelling at the ab-initio level, which will provide
insights into the physics and chemistry of new energy materials and systems.
This work will form part of the existing neutrons for the hydrogen economy
research project, where first results will be matched with modelling work
already under way, and data reduction and analysis will be undertaken in
conjunction with external collaborators. There will be real opportunities within
this position to contribute towards new materials that progress alternative
energy systems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are seeking a candidate with a strong innovation focus, good
communication skills and a proven publication record, as well as experience and
skills specific to the proposed research project. PhDs must have been
awarded within the last three years or be under examination.</DIV>
