Two Senior Scientists/Scientists position for neutron scattering  
studies of materials for the energy sector

The Materials Research Department (AFM) at Risø DTU, National  
Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark is  
seeking two Scientists or Senior Scientists to strengthen neutron  
scattering activities in basic and applied materials research. Risø  
DTU has a long tradition in structural physics and materials science  
using neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering techniques. We have  
currently obtained a contract with the Paul Scherrer Institute in  
Switzerland giving priority access to the RITA-II spectrometer that  
has been developed at Risø DTU but is now stationed at the SINQ  
neutron source.

AFM has strong collaborations with leading Danish and international  
universities and large scale research centers, including a number  
synchrotron x-ray facilities in Europe and USA. A special competence  
is the Worlds leading program McStas for simulations of neutron  
spectrometers, developed and maintained at Risø.

Job description
The chosen candidates are expected to use neutron scattering but also  
synchrotron X-ray diffraction as primary experimental techniques,  
which require significant travel activities to international large  
scale research facilities. They will have as colleagues scientists and  
technicians working on materials properties that are relevant for the  
energy sector, such as: superconductivity, magnetism, hydrogen storage  
and thermoelectrics. Depending on experience the candidates should  
contribute to the following activities:

     * development and use of neutron and synchrotron x-ray scattering  
facilities in materials science
     * collaboration on neutron instrument simulation and testing
     * development of advanced auxiliary equipment
     * participation in the Department’s research programs
     * establish own research projects within the Risø DTU strategy on  
energy materials
     * training and assisting new users
     * project management and fundraising
     * teaching and supervision of students and post docs

Qualifications

     * education as a physicist, materials scientists or chemist
     * Ph.D. degree, or similar qualifications, followed by post  
doctoral and research experience
     * demonstrated experience in neutron and/or synchrotron x-ray  
scattering techniques
     * documented experience in materials science and physics related  
to the Department activities
     * ability to work independently and within research groups
     * experience in supervision and project management
     * good communication skills in oral and written English

We offer
We offer an exciting and challenging job in an international  
environment with good possibilities for professional and personnel  
growth. Risø DTU is a family friendly organization with flexible  
working hours

Terms of employment
You will be employed in accordance with the terms valid for academic  
staff at universities. Salary will depend on qualifications and  
experience.

Application
We must have your online application by 30 June 2008. Please open the  
link "apply online" and fill in the application form and attach your  
application and CV.

Risø DTU requires variety and supports equal opportunities  
irrespective of sex and ethnic background
