magnetometry using a SQUID magnetometer and neutron diffraction using
powder and single crystal diffractometry and neutron polarisation
analysis. We are particularly interested in spin glass and random field
effects in the disordered systems and the role of anisotropy in the
stabilisation of pure and diluted two dimensional materials.

We are looking for a highly motivated physical chemist or physicist with a
strong background in chemical spectroscopy and neutron or x-ray scattering.
The successful applicant is expected to carry out independent research and
collaborative studies with users, and to participate in instrument
development and operation in association with the recently upgraded
quasielastic neutron scattering spectrometer (QENS) at IPNS.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or related field, preferably with research experience after the Ph.D. degree. Some of the research areas that the candidate would likely participate in include:
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and

ISIS is the most powerful source of pulsed neutrons and muons in the world and is one of the UK's leading centres for experimental condensed matter research. The facility accommodates approximately 20 neutron and muon spectrometers which are used by UK and foreign scientists from a broad range of disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology and materials science. The experiments are performed under the direction of a dynamic and innovative team of about 100 experimental scientists.
We now have two vacancies in the Large Scale Structures Group:
These posts are suitable for either graduate or postdoctoral scientists who have shown an aptitude for original research. The appointees will be expected to carry out their own research and to take on responsibility for operating and developing one of the Group's neutron spectrometers.
Post A carries a wider responsibility in promoting the use of all the neutron scattering techniques used at ISIS by the biological research community, and interaction with the National Biological Solid State NMR Facility based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is expected.
Applicants require a degree in a scientific, mathematical or engineering subject, together with relevant post graduate research experience or NVQ Level 5 or equivalent plus substantial experience. The salary range is between �17730 & �26600 and �22130 & �33200. Appointment is normally at the minimum however, relevant experience will be taken into account. Progression within the salary range is dependent upon performance. A non-contributory pension scheme and a generous leave allowance are also offered.

In Grenoble, France, the ESRF has constructed a state-of-the-art storage
ring for 6 GeV electrons which is operated 24 hrs/day as a high brilliance
synchrotron radiation source for the production of X-rays. The financing of
the ESRF is shared by thirteen European countries. At the end of 1998, 30
ESRF beamlines will be open to users. The ESRF supports scientists in the
implementation of fundamental and applied research on the structure of
condensed matter in fields such as
Physics, Chemistry, Crystallography, Earth Science, Biology and Medicine,
Surface and Materials Science.
The Experiments Division designs, constructs and runs the ESRF beamlines.
Within this division the Elastic Diffuse Scattering group is now seeking to
recruit a
Post-doctoral fellow (m/f)
for the Microfocus Beamline (ID13)
THE FUNCTION:
Beamline ID13 is a beamline with special emphasis on microdiffraction on
organic and biological samples. We are looking for a scientist who will
participate in the operation and future development of this beamline in
single crystal diffractometry. This includes local contact duties like
assisting visiting scientists in the conducting of their experiments. The
successful candidate is expected to develop a strong research project in a
topic linked to exploring the limits of diffraction and/or diffuse
scattering from very small crystals down to sub=B5m=B3 volume.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:
Candidates should hold a doctorate in physics, crystallography or other
appropriate science. Experience with synchrotron radiation instrumentation
(or similar), and computer programming, would be an advantage.
The working language at the ESRF is English, though some knowledge of
French is desirable.
OUR OFFER:
The ESRF offers an exciting opportunity in an international atmosphere,
sharing a site with several other major European scientific institutes. New
staff coming from outside the Grenoble area benefit from installation
allowances, and non-French staff also benefit from an expatriation
allowance in accordance with specific regulations. Only candidates holding
a Ph.D. obtained less than 3 years ago are eligible for Post-doctoral
positions. Post-doctoral fellows are employed for a two year-period with a
possibility of extension to three years and the contract will start as soon
as possible.
Further information on the post can be obtained from Christian
Riekel (tel.: +33 (0)4 76 88 20 51), email: [email protected]).
If you are interested, please send us a fax (+33 (0)4 76 88 24 60) or an
e-mail ([email protected]) with your address, and we will provide you with
an application form. Or print out an application form on the World Wide Web
http://www.esrf.fr/.
In addition to the application form, you should
provide us with a detailed CV and possibly letters of recommendation.

A postdoctoral position is available in the Indiana Univ/NIST polarized 3He program, employed by Indiana Univ. and working at the NIST Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The primary thrust of the program is developing and applying 3He-based polarizers to materials science and fundamental physics. We also have a spin-off program in polarized gas MRI. Both spin-exchange and metastability-exchange optical pumping of 3He are being pursued. Collaborators include Indiana University, Los Alamos, Argonne, the Univ. of Pennsylvania, and the Univ. of Virginia. Recent results include application of 3He polarizers to small angle neutron scattering, collaboration in developing a 3He polarizer for the proposed Los Alamos experiment on parity violation in the absorption of neutrons by hydrogen, and compression of polarized 3He for application to both neutron polarizers and MRI. Although the primary responsibilities of this position are for polarized 3He, there will be the opportunity to participate in other activities of the group, which include weak interaction experiments and neutron interferometry
(see http://physics.nist.gov/Divisions/Div846/Gp3/gp3.html).
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in experimental physics and some
experience relavant to this cross-disciplinary endeavor.
Interested individuals should respond promptly. The position is
immediately available but starting dates as late as Dec. 1999
will be considered.

Lucy Cavendish College is committed to the advancement of womens education. The College exists to create a stimulating environment in which women can pursue academic excellence. As part of this programme, Lucy Cavendish College endeavours to enable women research scientists and engineers to return to appropriate employment after taking a career break. It therefore invites applicants for two half-time Research Fellowships under the auspices of The Daphne Jackson Trust.
Each Fellowship aims to provide advanced research and training opportunities for a well qualified woman research scientist or engineer, with a PhD or good Honours degree, seeking to resume her career after a break due to family commitments. The Fellowships are tenable in a science or engineering department or related institution at the University of Cambridge and the successful applicants will be elected to Research Fellowships at Lucy Cavendish College for the tenure of their appointment.
The appointments will be for two years, half-time, and the stipend will be pro rata on the RA1A scales for teaching staff, which will amount to a minimum of 8,785 GBP per annum + 650 GBP extraordinary expenses in the first year.
