NO. SF 2005/3

The Hahn Meitner Institute is a research center of the Federal Republic 
of Germany and the land Berlin with about 800 employees working at 
Berlin-Wannsee and Berlin-Adlershof. A key activity is basic research on 
the structure of condensed matter using neutron scattering at the 
research reactor BER II (Berlin-Wannsee) as well as synchrotron 
radiation techniques at BESSY (Berlin-Adlershof).

The Hahn-Meitner-Institut (HMI) invites applications for a tenure track 
position as an instrument scientist in the area of synchrotron 
radiation. The candidate will be the responsible scientist for the PGM 
beamline at the undulator UE46 which is operated by the HMI at the 
Berlin synchrotron radiation facility BESSY located in Berlin-Adlershof. 
The Undulator UE46 provides soft X-rays with exceptionally high 
polarisation and brilliance over the photon energy range of 200 to 1800 
eV making the PGM beamline one of the world leading beamlines in the 
soft X-ray regime. User support (i.e. experiments and data analysis), 
further development of the instrumentation of the beamline, and 
especially the installation of an additional high-field reflectometer, 
are major duties connected with the position.

The department of magnetism is presently sharpening its scientific 
profile. One of the pillars of its activities will be an ambitious 
research program in the field of magnetism in thin films and 
nanostructures with an emphasis on the complementary use of synchrotron 
and neutron radiation. Applicants should have a strong scientific 
interest in this field and follow their own research program. Extensive 
experience in the use of  synchrotron radiation and a broad knowledge in 
solid state physics, especially in the field of magnetism, are essential.

Remuneration will depend on the candidate’s qualifications and 
scientific achievements.
Applications including a full curriculum vitae and two academic 
references should be sent under NO. SF 2005/3 to Hahn-Meitner-Institut 
Berlin, Abt. Personal und Soziales, Glienicker Str. 100, 14109 Berlin, 
Germany (email: personalabteilung at hmi.de). The deadline is 30 April 2005.
For informal inquiries, please contact Prof. Dr. Alan Tennant (phone: 
+49-30-8062-2741, e-mail: tennant at hmi.de).
