Job Description
The goal of the project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Basic Energy Sciences is to advance the basic science of disordered systems including electrons in solids. We use inelastic x-ray and neutron scattering as principal tools of research. We are developing new experimental approach to observe dynamic correlations among atoms and electrons in real space and time using the Van Hove function 1 and the energy-resolved dynamic pair-distribution function (PDF) 2. The experimental work will be carried out using synchrotron-based facilities including the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Advanced Photon Source (APS ANL).
This is a grant-funded position and is contingent upon the continued funding of the grant.
Responsibilities
To carry out research on dynamic correlations in disordered systems including electrons collaborate with other researchers within and outside the group and publish the results.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Education: Ph.D. degree in Physics.
- Experience:Extensive experience in inelastic x-ray or neutron scattering over three years.
Work Location
- Shull-Wollan Center a UTK facility within the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- Occasional work at the Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- Occasional travels to Argonne National Laboratory and other facilities
