Prof. Jill Trewhella, has started with the Bragg Institute as ANSTO's first Federation Fellow. Jill holds her position jointly between Sydney University and ANSTO, and she has advertised for an ANSTO-funded postdoctoral fellow to work with on problems in biophysics using small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering.
Also this week, we took delivery of our new state-of-the-art small-angle x-ray scattering instrument, which is installed directly adjacent to the new QUOKKA small-angle neutron scattering instrument. Commissioning is almost complete.
This instrument is unique in New South Wales, and is likely the best laboratory-based SAXS machine in Australia, prior to commissioning of the new SAXS machine at the Australian Synchrotron in Victoria in 2007 or beyond.
For more details on the new SAXS machine, please contact Dr Tracey Hanley. It is available to Australian and New Zealand university users via AINSE.
