[Neutron] Post doc position: New powder diffractometer in Norway

[Bjorn Hauback]

Post doctoral position at Institute for Energy Technology (IFE),
Kjeller, Norway.

Physics Department at IFE invites applicants for one post doctoral position/
temporary scientist. IFE is an international research institute located in
Norway
focusing on Energy and Nuclear technologies. The staff consists of about 520
permanent employees.

The Physics Department is responsible for the Neutron Laboratory using
neutrons from
the JEEP II research reactor at IFE. At present the instrumentation consists
of a Powder Neutron Diffractometer, A Small Angle Neutron Scattering
Instrument,
Time-of-Flight Spectrometer, Triple-axis Neutron Diffractometer and a
High-Flux
2-axis Diffractometer. The scientific activity of the Department is focused
on complex soft
condensed matter and materials for hydrogen storage in addition to neutron
diffraction
experiments in collaboration with national and international groups.
At present we are about 30 people in the department.

We have a received a grant from The Research Council of Norway together with
University
of Oslo for a new powder neutron diffractometer. The goal is a
state-of-the-art
powder neutron diffractometer focusing on high resolution and high degree
of flexibility. The total budget is 11 mill. NOK (about 1.35 mill. Euro).

We are looking for a post doctoral fellowship or scientist in a temporay
position for 2
years to work on the new diffractometer. A project-team has been established
with the responsible scientist, consultants and engineers. The candidate
that we are seeking here, will be an important member of the project-team.

The work:
- The canditate will take the daily scientific responsibility for the
design, construction
and testing of the different parts of the diffractometer.
- The person will be involved in contact and discussions with
companies/institutions
who will deliver parts of the instrument.

Background for the candidate:
- PhD or similar.
- Scientific background from a neutron scattering facility, in particular
experience
from instrumentation and diffraction.

The salary is according to the standard for post doctoral fellowships by the
Research
Council of Norway.
