Description
The Clifford G. Shull Fellowship Program is aimed at attracting newscientific talent to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and itsneutron science programs, making it possible for these outstanding newscientists to continue on the path to excellence while substantiallycontributing to ORNL and U.S. Department of Energy missions and goals.The Shull Fellowship is open to fields of science and engineering thatfurther advances in neutron science. Shull Fellows are expected toprovide valuable stimuli to the research efforts of the Laboratory, makeavailable the most recent developments of university science andengineering departments, and represent the Laboratory to its sponsorsand collaborators in the scientific community.
The Shull Fellowship Program is directed to recent doctoral degreerecipients of exceptional ability who show clear and definite promise ofbecoming outstanding leaders in scientific research and development. TheProgram will provide them with the opportunity to:
• develop neutron science programs in areas of national importance
• pursue research programs within their areas of interest and expertise
• collaborate with Laboratory R&D staff and distinguished scientists
• have access to Laboratory expertise, facilities, and programs
Shull Fellows carry out and develop research programs to enhance theknowledge of the structure or dynamical behavior of advanced materialsusing neutron scattering as a primary tool; work with scientists in ORNLand other research institutions on collaborative research programs usingneutron scattering experiments; educate and promote the use of neutronscattering to new user communities; publish research results inscientific journals; and assist Spallation Neutron Source and High FluxIsotope Reactor instrument scientists and design teams in thedevelopment of new instrumentation to meet research program goals.
Each applicant must be the recipient of an earned doctorate and must beno more than three years beyond the doctorate. A Ph.D. in condensedmatter physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, biology orrelated field is required. Applicants should not have previously servedmore than one postdoctoral appointment. Current ORNL postdoctoralappointees and staff members cannot be considered as valid applicants.Previous experience in neutron or X-ray scattering techniques isadvantageous; however outstanding candidates possessing characterizationskills and expertise in nano-materials are also encouraged to apply.Strong written and oral communication skills and the desire to work in ateam environment on scientifically challenging problems are required.Applicants for this Shull Fellowship competition should have a Ph.D.degree conferred on or after October 1, 2004.
