Postdoc Position Open @ Portland State

Email: pmoeck@pdx.edu
Name: Peter Moeck

Organization: Portland State University

Title-Subject: [Filtered] Postdoc up to 3 years, Crystallographic and
spectroscopic analyses of ferromagnetic semiconducting nanoparticle
aggregates

Question: Postdoc (USA, University of Davis, California and west
coast based) for a collaboration between Portland State University,
the University of California at Davis, the University of Washington
at Seattle, and the Pacific NorthWest National Laboratory

Initially for one year at $35,500 plus the typical fringe benefits
(health insurance, retirement benefits, etc. ... package that
ammounts to about $17,500 annually) available from September 1st,
2007, onwards, extendable up to 3 years by mutual agreement.

A group of collaborators from Portland State University, the
University of California at Davis, and the University of Washington
at Seattle is seeking a postdoc for a project on Crystallographic and
spectroscopic analyses of ferromagnetic semiconducting nanoparticle
aggregates with Curie temperatures well above room temperature.

A background in materials physics, materials chemistry,
crystallography, or materials science and engineering is required.
Familiarity with Z-contrast (HAADF) imaging in scanning transmission
electron microscopes and associated electron energy loss spectroscopy
are essential. Skills in high resolution phase-contrast transmission
electron microscopy, electron diffraction and crystallography, and
crystallographic image processing will be appreciated.

The search will be open until the position has been filled.
Applications (CV, list of referees, reasons for coming to the US for
applicants from aboard, list of publications, etc.) should be sent to
both
