<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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>We are looking for a recent PhD graduate to work on a research project
involving new materials for sustainable-energy applications. We seek 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>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The fellow will study alternative energy-system materials by bringing
together various neutron scattering methods with analysis using DFT
calculations. Our key goal is understanding structure and dynamics of these
materials at an atomistic level so that their function can be improved. The
materials-function includes separation, storage, and use of hydrogen in
fuel-cells and storage of energy in battery materials.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Applicants must have a background in physical-chemistry or materials
science and experience in modern quantum-chemistry calculations. Knowledge of
neutron scattering techniques would be advantageous. This is a competitive and
rapidly advancing field that offers the potential to contribute to both
scientific and environmental developments. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For further technical information relating to this position please contact
Vanessa Peterson on +61 (02) 9717 9401 or Don Kearley on +61 (02) 9717
7274.</DIV>
