2 postdoc positions (m/f/d) in situ and operando neutron diffraction

At Leipzig University, Faculty of Chemistry and Mineralogy, Institute  
of Inorganic Chemistry, there are two open postdoc positions (starting  
October 1st, 2022 or later, until September, 30, 2025; 100% position  
in salary group E13 TV-L). In a BMBF-funded research project in  
cooperation with the University of Kiel, the Institut Laue-Langevin  
(ILL) in Grenoble and the Maier-Leibnitz-Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching  
near Munich, you will work on the development of neutron-based  
operando methods, especially reactors for solid-gas reactions, and  
laboratory-based in situ methods.

Tasks
• management of instrumental development activities in the project
• implementation of the developed operando instrumentation on neutron  
diffractometers
• laboratory-based in-situ experiments (X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy)
• propose, design and perform operando neutron diffraction experiments
• support for users of the developed operando instruments

Requirements
• University degree and doctorate in chemistry, physics, materials  
science, crystallography or related fields
• experience with neutron diffraction
• ability to work independently
• ability to document, present and publish scientific results  
(conferences, journals)
• very good knowledge of English
• knowledge of German desirable
