Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom UKRI Full time €39,375 - €43,313

Post-Doctoral Research Associate
(Experimental Condensed Matter Physics)
Full time
Contract Type:
Fixed Term (36 months)
Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire
The ISIS Neutron & Muon Source is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. We support a national and international community of more than 3000 scientists for research into subjects ranging from clean energy and the environment, pharmaceuticals and health care, through to nanotechnology and materials engineering, catalysis and polymers and on to fundamental studies of materials.
These are used to characterise the local and average nuclear and magnetic structures of a wide range of materials, many supported by collaborations with UK and international partners. Scientific Aim of the Project
Coupling between structural distortions lies at the heart of many applicable material functionalities such as piezoelectricity and piezomagnetism, linear and nonlinear magneto-electric effects, multiferroic properties, hybrid ferroelectricity, and optical effects associated with a lack of spatial inversion. A combination of this method with DFT calculations can be particularly beneficial, where effects of virtual switching off and on of some structural distortions on the magnetic Hamiltonian can be thoroughly explored.
The research project Magneto-structural coupling in topological polar and chiral magnets implies experimental characterisation of complex magnetic ground state and theoretical analysis of coupling phenomena in various materials with exotic magnetic orderings - from anharmonic spin density waves to topological chiral textures.
As the Post-Doctoral Research Associate, you will be an active member of the ISIS Crystallography Group and be expected to work in a close collaboration with the key partners-from Diamond and PSI. You will play a leading role in lab-based materials characterisation, beam time applications and participation in experiments at ISIS, Diamond, PSI and other international facilities using neutron, muon and x-ray techniques with subsequent data analysis.
Degree or equivalent qualification in a physical science
PhD, or about to receive a PhD, in a relevant science area, or equivalent experience
Solid background in physical crystallography and experience in powder and/or single crystal diffraction and associated analysis techniques (publication record)
Ability to write and produce scientific papers and present results at conferences
Experience in performing neutron scattering or X-ray diffraction, at large-scale facilities.
UK Research and Innovation recognises and values employees as individuals and provides a rewards and benefit package including:
a flexible working scheme
an excellent Defined Benefit pension scheme
30 days annual leave allowance plus 10.Free parking
