[Neutron] Job advertisement TUM-FRM II, Instrument scientist RESEDA

[Christian Franz]

For our team we are looking in full time (40,1 h/week), for a


    Instrument Scientist

*About us*

The beam-line RESEDA is a high-resolution neutron resonance spin echo 
spectrometer, located at the high flux neutron source Heinz 
Maier-Leibnitz (FRM-II) in Garching, Germany. RESEDA is optimized for 
scientific studies in hard and soft condensed matter, comprising 
magnetism and superconductivity in systems featuring strong electronic 
correlations, as well as polymer dynamics, liquids and solvents. In 
recent years the instrument has become world-leading in studies on 
depolarizing samples or with depolarizing sample environments using the 
MIEZE technique.

*Description of position*

You will play a leading role in the development of methods and 
instrumentation in the area of high-resolution neutron spin-echo 
spectroscopy, taking also responsibility for the user operation of the 
spectrometer RESEDA at the FRM II. In particular, you will be engaged in 
the optimization of RESEDA for studies requiring small angle scattering 
geometries. This includes the project management, simulations, planning, 
and, in close cooperation with engineers and technicians, design, 
construction and commissioning of new instrument components. In 
addition, you will be encouraged to pursue your own research projects 
based on neutron scattering with a penchant on neutron spin echo 
spectroscopy. All activities will be carried out in close collaboration 
with the Chair for Experimental Physics on the Topology of Correlated 
Systems at the Physik-Department of TUM (Prof. Pfleiderer).

*Qualification and Experience*

You have a degree in physics, chemistry, material science or related 
fields. Research experience equivalent to a PhD is expected. You have 
knowledge and experience in the application of neutron scattering or 
other scattering techniques in the investigation of the dynamical 
properties of condensed matter systems. Knowledge on simulation tools 
using Monte-Carlo methods will be helpful. Communication skills and the 
ability to work in a team at an international research center are 
mandatory. Good oral and written English skills are required, German 
language skills are an asset.


The high safety standard of our facility makes an additional background 
check based on nuclear law mandatory.

The tasks include access to radiation protection areas.

The appointment is limited to 3 years. The payment is based on the 
German pay scale TV-L.

The Technical University Munich is an equal opportunity employer. As 
part of their efforts to create equal opportunities and to increase the 
diversity of scientists, the Technical University Munich encourages in 
particular applications from women as well as from those bringing in 
additional diversity.
