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

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:
