[Neutron] Postdoc Position Neutron Scattering Spectroscopy in Complex Matter

[Karen Diederichsen]

The Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin invites applications for a post-
doctoral position in Neutron Scattering Spectroscopy in complex 
matter.

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a Ph.D. in 
physics or chemistry and experience in neutron scattering along with 
good communication skills, who will join the international team of 
the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center (BENSC). She/He will support our 
scientific activities in the field of dynamics and functionality in 
complex matter (magnetic and structural disorder, (spin)glasses, 
polymers, biological matter) using high resolution inelastic neutron 
scattering techniques and computational modelling. The successful 
candidate will also be involved in the development of new 
instrumentation concepts using advanced computational methods. The 
particular center of interest will be the area of polarised neutrons 
and Neutron Spin Echo spectroscopy. She/he will contribute to the 
commissioning of the wide angle neutron spin echo spectrometer SPAN 
in the new neutron guide hall of BENSC and will provide scientific 
support and assistance to external users at  this spectrometer. 
The post represents an excellent opportunity for young scientists to 
broaden their experience and develop their expertise. The position is 
tenable for three years with a salary of about 20.000 - 23.000 EUR 
net income per annum depending on age, family status and 
qualification.
The Hahn-Meitner-Institut is a German National Laboratory and a 
member of the Herman von Helmholtz Association of National Research 
Centres and has about 600 employees. It hosts the Berlin Neutron 
Scattering Centre (BENSC), a user facility open to scientists from 
all over the world. To probe the structure and dynamics of solids and 
liquids, BENSC provides scientists with state-of-the-art neutron 
scientific equipment.
