The University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR) invites applications for a Research Scientist position. MURR is the largest neutron source (10 MW) on a U.S. campus and is well-suited for neutron scattering research. The Neutron Scattering group at MURR currently operates four instruments for structure and dynamics studies of matter: a triple-axis spectrometer, a reflectometer, and two powder diffractometers. MURR employs approximately 200 people, where neutron scattering is one of five major research programs.

Primary responsibilities

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to existing neutron scattering research projects as well as initiate projects that will lead to external funding. It is expected that the successful candidate will become the primary instrument responsible for the high-resolution neutron powder diffractometer, which has been newly upgraded.

Minimum Qualifications

A Bachelor's degree in related/relevant area and at least 3 years of experience from which comparable knowledge and skills can be acquired is necessary.

Preferred Qualifications

Candidates are preferred to have a PhD and postdoctoral experience in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related field.

A strong background in neutron scattering is required, preferably with expertise in powder neutron diffraction, modeling, and interpretation of neutron data. The evalutation o f candidates will be based upon the strength of the candidate's scientific profile, publication record, and future research potential. The ability to work in a team environment and effective communication skills are essential.

Application Materials

Candidates must submit a CV with list of publications and professional activities, a statement of research, and the names and e-mail addresses of 3 references.

About University of Missouri
Established in 1839, the University of Missouri knows what it means to be first. We were the first public university west of the Mississippi River. We are home to the world’s first journalism school. We started the tradition of homecoming. As a flagship, land-grant institution and one of only 65 universities across the U.S. and Canada to be a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, we are a campus where empathy, innovation and hard work combine to solve the world’s grand challenges. Our community of students, faculty and staff enhances bovine reproduction, composes award-winning music and generates life-saving radioisotopes in the most powerful university research reactor in the country. We tackle diverse problems because Missouri is a diverse state — from the southern Ozarks to the northern plains. We are Mizzou, where Black and Gold runs deep and Truman the Tiger embodies our bold spirit.
