> The successful applicant should have demonstrated: 
> 
> *International reputation in neutron scattering research
> 
> *Knowledge of synchrotron radiation science and its applications
> 
> *Leadership ability to inspire scientists and support staff to be
> creative and output oriented
> 
> *Extensive negotiating skills to create research alliances with
> industry, academia and other research institutions, both in Australia
> and overseas.

> 
> ANSTO operates a number of neutron scattering facilities on the HIFAR
> reactor, including neutron powder diffractometers, a long wavelength
> polarisation neutron facility, two single crystal spectrometers and a
> small angle neutron scattering instrument. The Australian government
> has
> recently determined that, subject to an Environmental Impact Study, a
> replacement nuclear research reactor is to be constructed at the Lucas
> Heights Science & Technology Centre and world class neutron scattering
> instruments will have to be designed for this facility.
> 
> This research group has the responsibility for the ANSTO driven
> activities of the Australian Synchrotron Radiation Program, based on
> the
> Australian facilities developed at the Photon Factory in Japan and at
> the Advanced Photon Source in USA.
> 
> The successful applicant will be offered a permanent position subject
> to
> the satisfactory completion of a probation period. For permanent
