This work capitalises on our recent success in pioneering the use of optical shadowgraphy in a low temperature environment to make such patterns visible. This technical advance permits quantum fluids to be used as pattern-forming systems with all their natural advantages of high resolution thermometry and low Prandtl number. Visualisation experiments in these fluids should provide new insight on the interplay between pattern symmetry and system nonlinearity: an area currently attracting world-wide attention. We are looking for an experimental condensed matter physicist with an interest in fluid mechanics; experience in low temperature physics and nonlinear dynamics would be an advantage. This is a three-year position available in October 1997 for an appointee starting at Point 6 on the Grade 1A salary scale (L16927). For applicants appointed higher on the scale the period would be shorter than three years.
