<h2>Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neutron Diffraction and Small Angle
Scattering Studies<br>
Oak Ridge National Laboratory<br>

<h4>Project Description:<o:p></o:p></h4>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Chemical
Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is soliciting applications
for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neutron diffraction and small angle
scattering studies of electrolyte (aqueous, organic, ionic liquid) bulk
behavior, interactions with electrode materials, and response to external
fields.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The research
will involve structural investigations, primarily by neutron diffraction, of
the atomic to nano-scale structures formed in ionic liquids, aqueous and
organic electrolytes. In addition to resolving the bulk structures, our
interest is in understanding their structure in micro- and nano-porous carbon,
as well as the influence of electric fields. The candidate will investigate
structures in the electric double layer (EDL) formed at charged surfaces,
mimicking electrode processes in advanced battery and capacitor systems. He/she
will work closely with other experimental and computational members of the
FIRST Energy Frontier Research Center team. The expected outcome of this
research is an improved understanding of the electrolyte structure in bulk and
in the EDL and its variations with electrolyte composition and external
parameters. More information about the FIRST center can be found at<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F1F1F'>Candidates
must have a PhD D. in physics, chemistry or a closely related field. This
position requires a strong experimentalist with demonstrated experience in
neutron diffraction. Experience with small angle neutron scattering and X-ray
scattering methods is desirable. The candidate should be a self-starter, able
to work independently and able to participate creatively in refining program
directions. Presentations at national meetings and publication of scientific
results in peer-reviewed journals are expected. The candidate must have good
oral and written communication skills in English, and be able to interact
effectively with a broad range of colleagues. Applicants cannot have received
the most recent degree more than five years prior to the date of application appointment
and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment.</span><span
