Sciences Directorate (NScD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks Postdoctoral Research Associates to work on scientific projects to advance our understanding in materials & engineering using neutron scattering techniques. MEI will ensure ORNL to be
at the forefront of knowledge using the neutron scattering facilities at SNS and HFIR to solve problems in both materials and engineering fundamental and applied areas where neutron scattering is advantageous. Currently, MEI emphasizes on the advanced materials
behaviors under extreme stimuli or services. As a postdoctoral fellow you will work with the initiative scientists on one of the three science topics, accelerated advanced alloys design for extreme engineering applications, nuclear materials and radiation
effect, and materials response during advanced manufacturing/processing. Your core research will involve performing diffraction, small angle scattering and imaging neutron measurements on the world leading instruments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)
