Postdoctoral Fellow - Neutron scattering of confined fluids

Johns Hopkins University•Baltimore, MD

About The Position

The Postdoctoral Fellow will investigate the structure and dynamics of confined fluids in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The research uses neutron and X-ray scattering, complemented by techniques such as thermodynamic measurements, electron microscopy, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Its aim is to advance understanding of classical and quantum fluids by elucidating how atomic and molecular dynamics, dimensionality, and confinement govern macroscopic properties.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
Demonstrated experience with scattering techniques; neutron and X-ray scattering experience is highly desirable. Experience with complementary materials characterization techniques, such as light scattering, will also be considered.
Strong understanding of condensed matter physics and/or principles of materials physics.
Proficiency in data analysis using software such as MantidPlot, Igor Pro, or similar.
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
Excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely.
Strong record of scientific productivity, evidenced by publications and presentations.
