We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the Berlin Neutron 
Scattering Centre BENSC at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, Germany. 
The Hahn-Meitner-Institut is a German National Laboratory and a member 
of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres 
and has about 800 employees. It hosts the Berlin Neutron Scattering 
Center (BENSC) (http://www.hmi.de/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.

The successful candidate will support the development of instrumentation 
at BENSC (see http://www.hmi.de/bensc/) by using computer simulations. A 
good knowledge in programming, experience in Monte Carlo techniques, and 
a background in neutron or x-ray diffraction techniques is necessary. 
The position includes taking part in the research program of the 
department which focuses on major activities in quantum magnetism and 
novel magnetic oxides. Staff at BENSC have access to 30% of the beamtime 
on all neutron scattering instruments for their own research.

The appointment is for 3 years, and the salary is according to the 
tariff system TVöD. Applicants should send a letter of application, a 
detailed CV, two academic references, a list of publications and copies 
of degrees to Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, Abt. Personal und Soziales,
