Participating Research Team (PRT) Positions

Postdoctoral Research Associate - The Soft-Matter Group (SMG) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in early 2007. The SMG (see http://www.solids.bnl.gov/~scmg) is an interdepartmental/interdisciplinary effort which is composed of scientists from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science, the National Synchrotron Light Source, and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials. The research project will focus on lipid membrane coated nanoparticles and the interactions of these particles with lipid membrane surfaces. Requires a Ph.D. in physics, physical chemistry, biophysics or material science. Technical hands-on experience in one of the following areas is highly desirable: neutron scattering, x-ray scattering, optical microscopy, or atomic force microscopy. Interested candidates should submit a CV, recent reprints/preprints and three letters of reference, indicating position to Masa Fukuto (e-mail: fukuto@bnl.gov; mail: CMPMSD Bldg 510B, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973). BNL is an equal opportunity employer committed to workforce diversity.

Postdoctoral Positions: Experimental/Computational Condensed Matter Physics Michigan State University - Applications are invited for one or more post-doctoral research positions in experimental/computational condensed matter physics. The successful candidate will develop advanced software for the analysis and modeling of x-ray and neutron scattering experiments to study the structure of complex and nanostructured materials. They will also be expected to apply the software to interesting problems in nanoscience. Applicants with a strong background in x­ray or neutron scattering and computational physics are particularly encouraged to apply. Experience in the use and development of Rietveld structural refinement codes is desirable. Review of applicants will begin after June 15th 2006 and continue until the position is filled. Candidates must have a Ph.D in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or a related field. Please send applications, including a vita, statement of research interests, copy of one of your papers and at least two letters of recommendation, to Prof. Simon J. L. Billinge, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824. More information about the research can be found on the group web-page at http://nirt.pa.msu.edul. Michigan State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Persons with disabilities have the right to request and receive reasonable accommodations.
