Recent Ph. D graduates that are within 5 years of graduation and have scientific interests in solids NMR and materials science are encouraged to apply for a National Research Council (NRC) postdoctoral fellow to work in the solids NMR laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The solids NMR laboratory is in the Materials Science and Engineering Division (Gaithersburg, MD) and two primary research fronts are:
(1) Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Structural Characterization of Next-Generation Organic Electronics Thin Films
(2) Solid-State NMR for Molecular Transport and Polymer Segmental Dynamics in Water/Ion Swollen Polymer Membranes
Founded in 1901, NIST is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories with sites in Gaithersburg, MD (Washington D.C. suburbs); Boulder, CO; and Charleston, SC. Research at NIST specializes in standards and measurement development across a broad range of disciplines with the specific mission to "promote U. S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life."
The current NRC postdoctoral fellowship stipend is $67,588 with a $3,000 annual travel allotment.
There are two NRC postdoctoral fellowship deadlines annually, February 1st and August 1st.
Awardees must hold a U. S. citizenship, and have held in Ph.D. less than five years at time of application.
