Post-Doctoral Research Associate
3 months ago
(Experimental Condensed Matter Physics)
Contract Type: Fixed Term (36 months)
Location: Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire
Background
The ISIS Neutron & Muon Source is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences. Our suite of neutron and muon instruments gives unique insights into the properties of materials at the atomic scale. We support a national and international community of more than 3000 scientists.
The ISIS Crystallography Group operates seven powder and single-crystal diffraction instruments. 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. Among them, Diamond Light Source - , and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI)
Key Responsibilities
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.
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. In all such cases, physical properties can be anticipated by phenomenological symmetry analysis, making this technique a powerful tool for advancing our understanding and discovery of material functionality.
In complex systems, many different distortions can be present and their interplay and thus their impact on physical properties is not always obvious. The method based on decomposition of structural distortions into symmetry adapted distortion modes and calculation of appropriate free-energy coupling invariants brings an understanding of structure-properties relationship to a qualitatively new level.
Person Specification
- 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 carrying out low temperature transport, magnetic and heat capacity measurements
- Experience in performing neutron scattering or X-ray diffraction, at large-scale facilities.
Benefits
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 10.5 public and privilege days
- Free parking
