| The newly created Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) Materials Science of Actinides invites applications for post-doctoral and graduate student opportunities. Positions are available at each of the five universities partnered in the EFRC: University of Notre Dame (lead: Peter C. Burns), University of Michigan (lead: Rodney C. Ewing), University of California-Davis (lead: Alexandra Navrotsky), George Washington University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The EFRC conducts transformative research in the actinide sciences with full integration of experimental and computational approaches, and an emphasis on questions that are important to the energy future of the nation. Research is focused on actinide-based materials, especially those with nanoscale and otherwise complex structures, and the properties of these materials in extreme environments. Candidates for post-doctoral positions should have a Ph.D. degree in a science or engineering discipline related to the center activities (such as actinide chemistry or geochemistry, radiochemistry, materials science, solid-state chemistry, inorganic chemistry, mineralogy, nuclear engineering, etc.). Applicants for graduate studies are welcome from students with undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences and engineering. Letters of application for post-doctoral positions may be submitted to Director, EFRC, electronically to ndefrc@gmail.com or directly to one of the university leads. The application should include a letter discussing research interests and indicating a preference (if any) of EFRC partner university, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three professional references. Documents should be combined into one PDF file. Further information about the EFRC is available at www.ndefrc.com. | ||||||||||||||||
