The University of Virginia is advertising a postdoctoral research position available immediately in experimental condensed matter and materials physics. Expertise in the areas of neutron and/or x-ray scattering is required to carry out diffraction and/or inelastic measurements. Experience in one of the following fields is highly recommended: lattice dynamics, phase transitions and critical phenomena, and the dynamics of disordered materials and complex systems. Experiments will primarily be conducted at national and international facilities such as NIST, Argonne, Los Alamos and ISIS. Interest in materials preparation can be useful. The research focus will be in the areas of transition metal oxides (i.e. CMR), martensitic transformations, ferroelectrics and heavy fermions, with special attention in characterizing microscopic properties under applied pressure and magnetic fields. The work will involve development of special cells to acquire local atomic information in multiple environments.

The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), in cooperation with the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, is currently seeking qualified candidates for two openings: An Instrument Scientist for the cold triple axis instrument (SPINS), and a postdoctoral position through the Materials Science and Engineering Center for a person with experience in the general area of Colossal Magnetoresistive Oxides. Candidates with a Ph.D in experimental condensed matter physics, and experience in triple axis spectrometry, are preferred. Salaries are in the range of $40,000-$60,000 depending on qualifications and experience.
The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is a multi-disciplinary research facility that provides modern neutron instrumentation for investigations in a wide range of topics in physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and engineering. The instrumentation is available through a formal user program, through collaborative research programs with NIST staff, and via cooperative research agreements and programs with University scientists. For additional information on the NCNR facilities visit the webpage : http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/
SPINS Instrument Responsible:
An experimental condensed matter scientist is sought for the cold
triple-axis neutron instrument. In addition to conducting independent or
collaborative research in condensed matter science, the incumbent would
share the responsibilities of assisting visiting researchers in carrying
out experiments on the NCNR's Spin Polarized Inelastic Neutron Scattering
(SPINS) spectrometer. The incumbent would be an associate of the University
of Maryland, College Park, but would be stationed at NIST, Gaithersburg,
Maryland. This is a two year, minimum, position with the University's full
benefits package.
Research Associate in Colossal Magnetoresisitive Oxides
A recent Ph.D in experimental condensed matter physics is sought, with
experience in the general area of CMR materials. Familiarity with
triple-axis neutron spectrometry is desired, but not essential. No formal
instrumental responsibilities are required, with the majority of the
scientist's time devoted to collaborative or independent research in the
team. Positions are typically two to three years.

Applications are invited for the above research fellowships, tenable at the University of Oxford, in the fields of Plant Sciences, Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic or Physical), Engineering, Mathematics, Metallurgy, and Physics. The fellowships will be tenable for one year with a possibility of renewal for up to two further years. The awards will be available from 1 October 2001 or as soon as possible thereafter. There is one fellowship for men and one fellowship for women. These are supported from the Glasstone Fund for Men and the Glasstone Fund for Women respectively. The salary will be on the RSIA scale (currently �16,775- �25,213). The number of awards to be made will depend on the value of the funds in 2001 (in 2000 two fellowships were awarded, one from the fund for men and one from the fund for women). Additional travel and research support grants may be available.
Applicants must have submitted for their doctorate by the time of taking up a fellowship (normally 1 October of the year in which the offer is made). There is no age limit but applicants should not normally have had more than five years of post-doctoral research experience.

Candidates are sought for a postdoctoral position in the group of Professor Collin Broholm in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Johns Hopkins University. We study the dynamics of strongly fluctuating condensed matter systems using neutron scattering techniques. Systems under investigation include low dimensional and frustrated magnets with spin liquid phases, strongly correlated metals, and materials with unusual lattice dynamic properties. One theme being explored is quantum criticality at phase transitions induced by a magnetic field or pressure at low temperatures. We are also actively studying impurities in strongly fluctuating systems.
Experiments are mainly conducted at the NIST Center for Neutron Research where the successful candidate will be stationed. A Ph. D. degree in Physics or a related area is a requirement and prior experience in one or more of the following areas will be an advantage: neutron scattering, low temperature physics, instrument development, and single crystal growth. Interest and achievements in relevant scientific areas will also be considered as will the ability of the candidate to mentor graduate students, and to function productively at a major scientific facility.
Applications should include a curriculum vita, a brief statement of research interests, a list of publications, and contact information for three references. The Johns Hopkins University is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
Application received prior to January 1 2001 will receive full consideration.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), in collaboration with the Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR), seeks an outstanding candidate for a tenure-track faculty position in experimental neutron scattering starting September 1, 2001.
A second faculty position in neutron scattering is planned with a September 2002 start date. We anticipate hiring at the level of assistant professor, but exceptionally qualified candidates will be considered for a higher rank. A Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience are required. The successful candidate is expected to establish an internationally recognized, externally funded, research program that utilizes on-campus facilities at MURR as well as national and international laboratory facilities. MURR is a 10 MW research reactor located on the MU campus that is the highest neutron-flux university reactor in the U. S. It has a suite of neutron scattering instruments that include double and triple -axis spectrometers, a spin-polarized neutron reflectometer, a high-resolution powder diffractometer, and a residual stress diffractometer. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrumentation exists and could be available for installation, contingent upon a suitable candidate. The department is an active member of the MUCAT collaboration at the Advanced Photon Source and there is an x-ray laboratory with two rotating anode generators located in the department. Existing experimental research programs in the department investigate materials physics/condensed matter, including magnetism and superconductivity, surfaces/interfaces/film growth, and soft matter.
The department is now hiring additional faculty in biological physics to join three already on-board. More information about our department and MURR is available at http://www.missouri.edu/~physwww/physics.html.

Several months ago the Max Planck Society launched a new initiative with the
goal to establish a research group at the new research reactor FRM-II
in Garching (near Munich). This research group will operate two new
instruments:
Currently both instruments are in the construction/design phase and are expected to be operational by the year 2002 and 2003 in their basic configuration. Several Max Planck Institutes are active participants in this initiative. The instrumentation efforts are coordinated by the Dept. Keimer (MPI for solid state research, Stuttgart) for the resonance-spin-echo machine and by the Dept. Dosch (MPI for metals research, Stuttgart) for the reflectometer.
