Postdoc Nanodiffraction
Description The Prof. Shpyrko Group in the Department of Physics and the Institute of Pure and Applied Physics at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for Postdoctoral Scholar position(s) in experimental condensed matter physics, with the funding available on July 1st, 2009. Fields of interest include, but are not limited to development and application of x-ray scattering, spectroscopic and microscopy techniques to investigate structural, electronic and magnetic properties of novel high-temperature superconductors. The candidate is expected to closely interact with other members of collaborative team on synthesis of novel thin film and bulk materials.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and contact information for three references to Prof. Oleg Shpyrko via email to oshpyrko@physics.ucsd.edu with subject line: MURI Postdoc application.
UCSD is an EO/AA employer.
NOTES: International Candidates Will Be Considered. Salary will be based on published UC pay scales. Review of applications will begin June 15, 2009 will continue until the position is filled.
Requirements Applicants with specialization in x-ray scattering techniques, high temperature superconductors and discovery of novel materials will be given the highest consideration. Experience in synchrotron radiation is highly desirable.
