Vacancies for Research Scientists at 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, nuclear 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 seven other European countries.

The Science Division currently has vacancies in its Nuclear and Particle 
Physics Group for RESEARCH SCIENTISTS (M/F).

The posts represent an excellent opportunity for young postdoctoral 
scientists to develop expertise, broaden their experience and interact with 
leading scientists from around the world. Applications from more 
experienced scientists able to obtain a secondment period from their home 
organisation will also be considered.

The vacancies exist on the PN1 and PN3 nuclear physics instruments. 
Experiments on the mass separator Lohengrin (PN1) include - amongst others 
- gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy of very neutron-rich 
nuclei, produced in nuclear fission. On the ultra-high resolution 
spectrometers GAMS (PN3) ppm-resolution experiments are conducted with 
applications in nuclear structure research and fundamental physics.

The successful candidates will each be an "instrument co-responsible"on one 
of the two spectrometers. They must be highly motivated scientists with a 
PhD in nuclear physics and should have solid knowledge in gamma-ray 
spectroscopy and nuclear structure research. Interest in instrumentation, 
computing and development is also essential. In addition to carrying out 
their own research programme, the successful candidates will be responsible 
for assisting ILL's visiting scientists with their experiments and will 
also participate in operating and developing their instrument.

The successful candidates will be offered a fixed-term contract, the 
duration of which will under no circumstances exceed five (5) years. In 
addition to a competitive salary, certain benefits (partial reimbursement 
of removal expenses, adaptation allowance, etc.) may be offered.

Further information can be obtained by contacting the Nuclear and Particle 
Physics Group Leader, Dr. H. Börner Tel: +33 (0)4.76.20.73 94; e-mail:

Applications with curriculum vitae, a list of publications and the names of 
two academic referees should be sent, quoting reference 05/25, no later 
than 28.10.2005, by e-mail to A. Taffut:
