[Neutron] Postdoctoral position in crystallographic computing 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 is currently 
seeking to fill:

*      a Post-Doctoral position in crystallographic computing (m/f)*

Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Diffraction Group, you 
will work closely with the members of the Diffraction and Computing for 
Science groups, supporting and developing programmes used for 
diffraction data reduction and analysis. Your duties will include:

·  the maintenance, documentation and development of the ILL 
crystallographic libraries and programmes (in particular the Fortran 95 
CrysFML library).

· the development of integration algorithms and methods for single 
crystal data collected by 2D detectors, including Laue patterns, and the 
development of distributable stand-alone applications with the 
corresponding multiplatform graphic user interface (Windows, Linux and 
MacOS).

·   the interfacing of Fortran and/or C libraries with scripting 
languages such as IDL and Python.

·    participation in collaborative software development with other 
neutron centres.

/Qualifications and experience:/**
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a keen interest in 
developing the use of computing resources to analyse and understand 
neutron diffraction data. You should have experience in scientific 
computing, a PhD in condensed matter science, and, preferably, some 
experience in neutron scattering. You must have a good knowledge of 
Fortran and/or C/C++ languages. Preference will be given to candidates 
with experience in single crystal diffraction.

/Notes: /
This is a fixed-term *18-month contract*, which may be renewable for a 
similar period.
Generous company benefits (expatriation allowance), relocation 
assistance and language courses may be offered.**
For further information, contact Dr Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal, Head of the 
Diffraction Group (jrc at ill.eu).

Please submit your application online, with a list of publications and 
the names of two academic referees, no later than *30.06.2009*, via our 
website: http://www.ill.fr/careers  (Vacancy reference: *09/19*)
