Location: University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Job Title/ Reference: Post Doctoral Research Associate, DIA0571/TH Post details: 1 - 3 years Salary: Competitive Application deadline: Application review begins on August 15, 2010 Application details/contact person: Please submit CV and two letters of reference to Mark Schlossman schloss@uic.edu University of Illinois at Chicago, Department of Physics (M/C 273), 845 W. Taylor St., Chicago IL 60607, USA.
Description : Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to use synchrotron x-ray surface scattering to study nanoparticle growth at liquid/liquid interfaces. This position is part of a collaborative US-UK research program with the Dryfe and Schroeder groups at the University of Manchester. It offers the opportunity for extensive travel to synchrotron x-ray laboratories, in the US (APS, Chicago), the UK (Diamond Light Source, Oxfordshire) and France (ESRF, Grenoble), as well as visits to Manchester. The successful applicant will join a group of ~10 students and postdocs with extensive experience in x-ray scattering from liquid/liquid interfaces that is currently engaged in a wide range of activities in this area.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. or be about to obtain one with significant experience in experimental research in condensed matter physics or physical chemistry. Prior experience with synchrotron x-ray scattering is preferred, but experimental ability and initiative are more important. Communication skills and the ability to work with others are also important qualifications. The anticipated duration of this position is two to three years, though extension beyond the first year will be by mutual consent. Review of applications will begin on August 15, 2010, and continue until the position is filled.
Location: Diamond Light Source, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, South Oxfordshire, UK Job Title/ Reference: Post Doctoral Research Associate, DIA0571/TH Post details: Full time, 3 year fixed term Salary: £28,409 - £39,050. Starting salary, dependent on assessment of previous relevant experience and qualifications Application: Electronic Diamond application forms in MS-Word are preferred.

Application deadline: 20/08/2010 Link to Diamond Lightsource: For further details on applying for employment at Diamond, please visit 'Application Form' page.
Description : The successful applicant will be responsible for the operation of the synchrotron component of National Crystallography Service (NCS) based at Diamond and the duties will involve: the running of beamtime awarded to the NCS; the management of samples sent from the central laboratory component of the NCS (Southampton); the collection of data, structure solution and refinement for challenging samples and the management of data; the interaction with staff from both DLS and Southampton including direct contact with NCS users; reporting on the NCS usage of beam time on I19 as well as the participation in the write-up of results in journal articles.
Qualifications: Suitable candidates should hold a relevant PhD degree in areas such as Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science and be experienced with single-crystal diffraction instrumentation and methodology, structure solution and refinement. Familiarity with the principles of synchrotron x ray single-crystal diffraction would be an advantage and he/she should have a strong interest in a specific area of materials science, physics, chemistry and pharmaceuticals. The position will involve some participation in beamline commissioning and development. The successful candidate would be expected to be able to assist in the setting up of the beamline in advance of NCS beamtime.
