[Neutron] Vacancy for a Research Scientist at ILL

[recruitment]

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 1700 visiting scientists per year to 
carry out world-class research in solid-state physics, crystallography, 
soft matter, biology, chemistry 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 10 other European countries. The Science Division currently has a 
vacancy for a*:

**Working within the *Time-Of-Flight and High-Resolution (TOF/HR) 
Group*, you will be co-responsible for operating and improving a neutron 
time-of-flight spectrometer (IN6).
You will be responsible for assisting ILL's visiting scientists with 
their experiments and you will also participate in operating and 
developing the instrument.
In addition you will carry out an active research programme based on 
neutron spectroscopy and modern calculation tools, that you will use and 
develop within the Scientific Computing group. Duties will also include 
the promotion of scientific partnerships in your field of research.

/Qualifications and experience:/**
Ph.D. in physics or chemistry.
We are particularly interested in highly motivated candidates with 
knowledge of neutron scattering techniques. A strong background in 
neutron spectroscopy and ab-initio caclulation and/or  MD-simulations is 
an asset.
The post represents an excellent opportunity for young postdoctoral 
scientists to develop expertise, broaden experience and interact with 
leading scientists from around the world. Applications from more
