[Neutron] PDRA position at Helmholtz Center Berlin, Germany

[Marie Haltod]

Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PhD physicist or chemist)
Reference no. M2013/13

The Scientific Division Magnetic Materials - Institute for Complex Magnetic Materials invites applications for a
postdoctoral research assistant to work at the double-axis diffractometer E4 at the BERII research reactor at the
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Germany.

The Helmholtz Centre Berlin for Materials and Energy (http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/) is a German National Laboratory
and a member of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres. It hosts the Berlin Neutron
scattering centre and the Berlin Synchrotron Radiation Source BESSY, which are outstanding user facilities open to
scientists from all over the world. The Magnetism Division undertakes world leading research in quantum magnetism,
superconductivity and novel materials. It also offers a state-of-the-art materials synthesis program as well as the full
range of standard sample characterization facilities including x-ray Laue and powder diffraction, SQUID, transport and
thermal measurements.

The successful candidate will undertake research in the area of magnetic materials, especially novel and unconventional
superconductors. This will involve the use of the E4 diffractometer for studying materials under various external
conditions (pressure, magnetic fields, low temperatures). He/she will also provide user service for external scientists.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in physics or chemistry at the time of the recruitment. Very good knowledge of
solid-state physics, especially magnetism and superconductivity is required. Practical experience in the application of
neutron diffraction methods is highly desirable. Good programming skills and command of English is also required.

For informal inquiries, please contact Dr. Karel Prokes (+49-30-8062-42804).
Applicants should send a letter of application, a detailed CV and the contact details of at least two academic referees
to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Abt. Personal und Soziales, Hahn-Meitner-Platz 1,
D-14109 Berlin, Germany, (Email: personalabteilung at helmholtz-berlin.de) quoting reference no. M2013/13. The deadline for
the application is August 15th, 2013.
