PostDocs in Riso
The Condensed Matter Physics and Chemistry Department at Riso National Laboratory, Denmark, is seeking candidates for two post-doctoral positions within areas of: Superconductivity, Low-dimensional magnetism, and Magnetism of nano-sized particles. The candidates will be required to perform research using the neutron scattering facilities at Riso, and possibly also synchrotron radiation sources.
Scientific environment:
The Department has a staff of 20 permanent and 25 temporary
scientists, of which in total 14 work in the fields of
magnetism and superconductivity. The neutron scattering
facilities are based around the DR3 reactor, which has a
cold-neutron source and 8 spectrometers, including the
recently commisioned triple-axis spectrometer RITA. The
facility is open to outside users under the European TMR
program, supporting approximately 55 experiments per year.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have a recent Ph.D in experimental
solid-state physics or equivalent. They must be able to work
both in a team and individually. Experience in neutron or
X-ray scattering is desirable, although not essential.
Responsibility:
The successfull applicants are expected mainly to carry out
their own research, but also to participate in instrument
development and to assist outside users in carrying out
neutron experiments. The research in superconductivity may
include both basic and materials science.
Terms of employment:
The initial appointment will be for one
year with the possibility for extension by a second year.
All other terms of employment will be in accordance with the
terms valid for the Danish scientific staff at Ris=F8 National
Laboratory. The positions are available from January 1,
1998. Ris=F8 National Laboratory is an equal opportunity
employer.

Ph.D. Position
Graduate Teaching Assistant,Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences,
University of Strathclyde
Glasgow G1 1XW
We are currently seeking a pharmacist, or other suitably qualified graduate, with a first or second class honours degree for a Ph.D. project in solid-state chemistry / crystallography.
The Ph.D. would be carried out over four years with the student spending 25% of the time on specified teaching duties.
For several years now, the Solid State Research Group in Pharmaceutical Sciences has worked closely with the ISIS Facility at CLRC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. ISIS is the world's most powerful pulsed spallation neutron source and the collaboration has spawned a wide ranging program of basic research which includes: ->high-resolution molecular structure refinement using single crystal and powder neutron diffraction ->ab initio structure determination from neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data.

Post-doctoral fellow
for the Multiwavelength anomalous dispersion, BM14 beamline at the ESRF
A post-doctoral research fellowship is available on the Multiwavelength Anomalous Dispersion (MAD) beamline (BM14) of the ESRF. The successful candidate will participate in a research program whose interests include development and application of the technique of MAD to crystal structure determination, and the investigation of macromolecular crystal growth and crystal quality. The successful candidate will be encouraged to bring his/her own related research project.
Applicants should have a Ph.D in either Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics, Biochemistry or any other relevant discipline. Experience in either X-ray protein crystallography or crystallisation and purification of protein samples is essential, and some experience of synchrotron radiation data collection would be an advantage.
