Summary
Postdoctoral Position in High Pressure Physics and Crystallography: The Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE-LC) is seeking a postdoctoral candidate to work on an on-going project concerned with equation of state and thermodynamics of metals, alloys, ceramics, and minerals under high pressures and high temperatures. With a mission to conduct high pressure research in support of the DOE Stockpile Stewardship Program, primary responsibilities will include sample preparation, in-situ high-pressure/temperature neutron/x-ray diffraction experiments, data processing using Rietveld technique and thermodynamic analysis. The candidate is expected to publish the results of his/her basic research in the open literature and present it at relevant conferences.
Desired Skills
Previous experience with neutron/x-ray diffraction and high pressure technologies is highly desirable.
Education
A Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Earth Science, or a related field completed within the last five years or soon to be completed is required.
