[Neutron] job advertisement TUM-FRM II, Instrument scientist imaging station ODIN at ESS

[Neuhaus, Juergen]

The Technical University Munich operates the high flux Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) located at the scientific campus in Garching, Germany. The neutron source itself, its research instruments as well as the irradiation facilities provide unique possibilities for the scientific and industrial use of neutron beams.

In collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland we are developing and building a new high performance imaging station with neutrons at the European Spallation Source ESS in Lund, Sweden. For this project, we invite applications (full time position 40.1 h/week) as


Instrument scientist

Description of position
Your task is the development and construction of the time-of-flight neutron imaging station ODIN at the ESS in Lund Sweden. The current position is for one of the two instrument scientists for ODIN, a versatile imaging beamline with variable resolution for neutron radiography and tomography, optimised for both white-beam and time-of-flight neutron imaging. You act as the scientific lead of the project to design, procure, install and commission the ODIN instrument. The two instrument scientists will work closely with the lead engineer, forming the core instrument team.
You collaborate closely with scientists and engineers from different groups and research areas, especially with our collaboration partners in Switzerland and Sweden. Regular meetings at the site of the collaborating partners, especially with different departments at the ESS are necessary for this international project. The support of our in-house imaging group enables own scientific projects and involvement in related research.

Qualification and Experience
You have a degree in physics, chemistry, material science or related fields, ideally completed with a PhD / doctorate degree. You have knowledge and experience in the application of imaging or scattering techniques especially with neutrons or synchrotron radiation. Persuasive communication skills and ability to work in a team in an international environment are mandatory. Good oral and written English skills are required, German language skills are an asset.
The appointment is limited to the project duration; a prolongation is possible. The payment is based on the German pay scale TV-L. The Technical University Munich is an equal opportunity employer. Therefore women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants having an equivalent experience will be preferred.
