The Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution for Science (Carnegie), seeks applications for one
postdoctoral associate in the field of high pressure synchrotron research at the HPCAT facility at the
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. As a dedicated high-pressure synchrotron
facility, HPCAT has developed an array of x-ray diffraction, x-ray spectroscopy, and x-ray imaging
techniques suited for high-pressure research. Successful candidates will work with the HPCAT team in
synthesizing new materials, materials performance at extreme conditions, and materials metastability
using synchrotron radiation together with the new development of high-pressure x-ray techniques such as
time resolved techniques, multigrain crystallography, and/or high-energy diffraction microscopy.
The appointment is for one year, with possibility for a second year pending the progress and availability
of funds. The position is available immediately, and will remain open until it is filled.

- Minimum qualifications: A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field is
required at the time of appointment. Successful candidates are expected to be able to work in both
independent and collaborative group environments.

- Desired qualifications: A strong background in crystallography will be strongly favored.
Research experience in high-pressure materials science and good skills in scientific software and
diamond anvil cell technology will be considered advantages.

Interested parties can submit an application with a cover letter, curriculum vita, research interests, and
names of at least three references, via the Carnegie website. Only complete applications submitted via this
Carnegie website will be considered. To submit an application, click https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdoctoral-associate-position-at...
