Contract Type: Fixed term contract staff
Salary: £30,728 - £38,907 per annum
Work Hours 35.0 Hours per Week

Expected End Date: 30/04/2017
Job Type: Research and Teaching
Particle-resolved studies of colloidal glasses and crystals
A post-doctoral research assistant/associate will be appointed to work on a research project that will focus on colloidal systems undergoing vitrification and crystallization. Amorphous materials have novel properties which make them important in emerging technologies, and at a more fundamental level, understanding the glass transition and crystal nucleation are major challenges in condensed matter. Locally heterogeneous behaviour is important to both phenomena and ascertaining local structure is particularly suited to particle-resolved studies of colloidal model systems. Confocal microscopy accesses comprehensive time-resolved structural information at the level of the constituent particles.
