<p class=MsoNormal><b>Project Description:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a
postdoctoral associate to work on developing neutron spin filters based on
spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) of helium-3 (3He). The successful
candidate will be based in the Instrument Development Group at the Spallation
Neutron Source (SNS) of ORNL and will work to design, simulate, assemble and
test various apparatus related to producing and implementing polarized helium-3
spin filters for use in neutron scattering experiments. Neutron spin filters
based on polarized helium-3 are currently being applied at the SNS (see
http://wiki.ornl.gov/sites/instrument_development/polarization/spinfilter). The
thrust of this associate’s efforts will be towards the forefront of spin
filter development and its application in the SNS instruments as both polarized
neutron polarizer and analyzer. The associate will also be encouraged to
pursue, in parallel, his or her own research agenda on polarized neutron scattering
experiments using the facilities available at ORNL and/or by submitting
competitive proposals to national neutron scattering user facilities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Qualifications:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A Ph.D. in physics, materials science, chemistry,
engineering or similar field is required. Knowledge of neutron scattering
and/or experience with polarized neutrons or polarized helium-3 will be an
advantage. Successful experience with the design and fabrication of equipment
for research is also highly desirable. The candidate should be a self-starter,
able to work independently and able to work with staff at all levels within a
multi-disciplinary team. The position is for a two, one-year terms. An
additional one year term is possible. This position is available immediately.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Applicants cannot have received their most recent degree
more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all
degree requirements before starting their appointment.<o:p></o:p></p>
