Scientist PH.D.
(Physicist)
SF 2005/16

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 
Institute hosts the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center (BENSC), a user 
facility open to scientists from all over the world. To probe the 
structure and dynamics of solids and liquids, BENSC provides the 
national and international research community with state-of-the-art 
neutron scattering equipment and expertise at the research reactor BER II.

The Hahn-Meitner Institute (HMI) invites applications for an instrument 
scientist position in the area of inelastic neutron scattering. The 
candidate will be the responsible scientist for the thermal triple-axis 
spectrometer E1 of the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center (BENSC) run by 
the department of magnetism. Currently, the spectrometer is undergoing a 
major upgrade. Besides providing user support, the instrument scientist 
will take a leading role in the upgrade project, and also develop his 
own instrument ideas.
The department of magnetism is presently sharpening its scientific 
profile with ambitious research activities in the field of quantum 
magnetism and novel oxides. Applicants should have a strong scientific 
interest in one of these fields and follow their own research program.
Essential prerequisites for a successful application are: Extensive 
experience in inelastic neutron scattering techniques, preferably in 
triple-axis spectrometry, an interest in instrumentation and a broad 
knowledge in solid state physics, especially in the field of magnetism.

The position is presently tenable for two years with an option to turn 
it into a permanent position. 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 SF 2005/16 to Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, Abt. Personal und 
Soziales, Glienicker Str. 100, 14109 Berlin, Germany (email: 
personalabteilung at hmi.de). The deadline is 10 January 2006. Informations 
about the instrumentation at BENSC can be found under 
http://www.hmi.de/bensc/. For informal inquiries, please contact Prof. 
Dr. Alan Tennant (phone: +49-30-8062-2741).
