Diffraction Analysis of Energetic and Propellant Materials

The US Army Research Laboratory, located at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, seeks applications for a postdoctoral fellow for an experimental scientist in the field of crystallography. Primary responsibilities include measurement of material behavior utilizing x-ray and/or neutron diffraction. The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. The position focuses on the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate (WMRD) goals to enhance the lethality and survivability of weapons systems, and to meet the soldier's technology needs for advanced weaponry and protection. This postdoctoral fellowship seeks a mature, competent, self-motivated scientist who shows ingenuity and proficiency in using state-of-the-art experimental techniques and innovative, integrated strategies to pursue challenging, interdisciplinary problems in crystallography, materials science, and condensed matter physics.
