Associate Scientist, Ames Laboratory, Iowa State University, 3/5 time
(60%) appointment.  This position is to perform research for existing
and forthcoming multiple projects on thermoelectric, nano-structured,
and other complex materials, including their synthesis and studies of
structure, composition, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, NMR
relaxation times, electric, thermal, magnetic, and other relevant
properties.  Required qualifications:  Ph.D. in solid state physics or
related field with 2 years research experience in various aspects of
characterization and synthesis of complex materials.  Preferred
qualifications:  Experience in one or more of the following areas: 1)
materials characterization using spectroscopic, magnetic, electronic,
and thermal methods; 2) experience which demonstrates the ability to use
various technologies for materials synthesis; 3) experience which
demonstrates the understanding of major physical properties of solid
state and correlations between composition, structure, technology,
microscopic and macroscopic parameters of complex materials, in
particular thermoelectrics; 4) research in multi-disciplinary projects
on various phenomena in thermoelectric and other complex materials and
for understanding correlations between parameters of materials obtained
by NMR spectroscopy and other methods. Publications in reputable
journals related to thermoelectric and other physical phenomena in
complex materials, and related to NMR of complex materials. Experience
writing scientific papers/manuscripts, presentations, and proposals.
