A new transition is reported in the beta-delayed neutron decay of {sup 18}N. The observed neutron energy is 3.78{+-}0.05 MeV with a branching ratio of 0.05{+-}0.03%, which corresponds to an excitation energy of 12.05{+-}0.05 MeV in the daughter nucleus {sup 18}O. The log ft value of this transition is 5.24{+-}0.3, which, together with the previously reported electron scattering data, determines the J{sup {pi}} value of this level to be 1{sup -}. The experimental data are compared to the shell model calculations in different model spaces.
