[Neutron] Open Position: PostDoc in Neutron Imaging at TUM, FRM II

[Michael Schulz]

      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.

For the development of a new detector system at the imaging beam line 
ANTARES we invite applications (full time position 40.1 h/week) as

*PostDoc (m/f/d)*


      The beam-line ANTARES is a high-resolution neutron imaging
      instrument, located at the high flux neutron source Heinz
      Maier-Leibnitz (FRM-II) in Garching, Germany. With one of the
      highest neutron fluxes worldwide and its cold neutron spectrum,
      ANTARES offers high sensitivity at short exposure times. Main
      applications of ANTARES lie in the fields of material science,
      battery research, magnetism and fuel cells. Moreover, our highly
      motivated team plays an important role in method development for
      neutron imaging.

*Description of position*

**


      You will play a leading role in the development of a novel
      detector system for ANTARES, which will offer highest possible
      spatial resolution. The detector system will use a high-resolution
      camera system, which is optically coupled to a scintillator. In
      contrast to common systems, this detector will be capable of
      recording the light output of single neutron events and use a
      center-of-mass strategy to determine the location of the event
      with sub-pixel resolution. Your work includes project management,
      simulations, planning and - in close cooperation with engineers
      and technicians - design, construction and commissioning of the
      new instrument components. In addition, you will be encouraged to
      pursue your own research projects with a focus on neutron imaging.

*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 in the field of neutron- or x-ray/synchrotron
      imaging. Experience with optical systems and detectors will be
      helpful. Good oral and written English skills are required, German
      language skills are an asset.


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. Therefore women are especially encouraged to 
apply. Handicapped applicants having an equivalent experience will be 
preferred.

Further information on the position is given byDr. Michael Schulz(phone 
+49 89 289 14718).

Applications will be reviewed after July 14th, 2019and are accepted 
until the position is filled. Applicants should send a letter of 
interest describing relevant experience including detailed curriculum 
vitae by regular or electronic mail (merged to a pdf file) to:
