Together these facilities operate 24 instruments for neutron scattering research, each year carrying out in excess of 1,000 experiments in the physical, chemical, materials, biological and medical sciences for more than 3,000 visiting scientists. HFIR also provides unique facilities for isotope production and neutron irradiation.

The candidates will be encouraged to develop their own independent and collaborative research in the field of soft-matters. The post represents an excellent opportunity for an individual to develop his/her career and interact with leading scientists from around the world.

The successful candidates will develop vigorous research programs using molecular dynamics as a primary tool to understand structure and dynamics of polyelectrolytes and polymers systems in energy related materials, and the influence of external field on them. Complementary experimental techniques such as neutron and x-ray scattering techniques will be utilized. His/her research interests should range from studying microscopic to mesoscopic length scales and the corresponding temporal ranges. It is expected that close collaborative relationships with other members of BSMD and the staff of the SNS and HFIR will be established.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Qualifications Required:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>• A Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related science is required. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>• Expertise in scattering theory, and soft matter science are desirable but not necessarily required. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>• The candidate is expected to publish research results in scientific journals, maintain a strong commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of values and ethics and ensure compliance with environmental, safety, health and quality program requirements. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>• Strong written and oral communication skills and the desire to work in a team environment on scientifically challenging problems are required.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>• Expertise and experience in various computer simulations techniques such as AMBER, LAMMS, or Materials Studios, and skills to analyze the large trajectory files are strongly desired. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Technical Questions: Questions regarding the position can be directed to Dr. Gregory S.
