[Neutron] Vacancy for a Research Scientist

[Marie Claude Muller]

Research Scientist position at the ILL

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's 
leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. The ILL 
operates the brightest neutron source in the world, reliably delivering 
intense neutron beams to 40 unique scientific instruments. The Institute 
welcomes 1500 visiting scientists per year to carry out world class 
research in solid state physics, crystallography, soft matter, biology, 
chemistry and fundamental physics. Funded primarily by its three founder 
members: France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the ILL has also signed 
scientific collaboration agreements with 6 other European countries.

The Science Division currently has a vacancy in its Time-of-Flight and High 
Resolution Group for a RESEARCH SCIENTIST  (M/F).
The post represents an excellent opportunity for a young postdoctoral 
scientist to develop his/her expertise, broaden his/her experience and 
interact with leading scientists from around the world. More experienced 
scientists on detachment will also be considered.

The successful candidate will become co-responsible of the IN15 Neutron 
Spin Echo spectrometer. This is the highest energy-resolution NSE 
spectrometer available worldwide, especially well suited for quasielastic 
scattering studies in soft condensed matter and magnetic scattering. The 
spectrometer is jointly operated by the ILL, FZ Jülich and HMI Berlin.

The successful candidate must be a highly motivated scientist with a PhD in 
chemistry or physics. He/she will be expected to carry out a personal 
research programme, assist users in conducting experiments, and participate 
in the operation and development of the IN15 instrument, as well as 
promoting partnerships in his/her field.
Knowledge of Neutron Scattering would be appreciated. Given the relative 
complexity of this technique, an interest in instrumentation, computing and 
development is essential, although applications from non-specialists in 
this field are explicitly encouraged.

The successful candidate will be offered a fixed-term contract, the 
duration of which is foreseen at least three (3) years with possible 
extension to five years. In addition to a competitive salary, certain 
benefits (reimbursement of removal expenses, adaptation allowance etc.) may 
be offered.
Further information can be obtained by contacting the Head of the "Time of 
Flight and High Resolution" Group, Dr. H. Schober, tel. (33) 4.76.20.72.06, 
e-mail: <mailto:schober at ill.fr>schober at ill.fr, or via the World Wide Web 
(<http://www.ill.fr/tof>http://www.ill.fr/tof)

An application with curriculum vitae, a list of publications and the names 
of two academic referees should be sent no later than 07.02.2005, quoting 
reference 05/01, preferably in electronic form to: 
<mailto:mader at ill.fr>mader at ill.fr  or posted to:
