[Neutron] Group leader position available at JCNS-3 Neutron Analytics for Energy Research

[Zobel, Mirijam]

Dear colleagues,

The subinstitute “JCNS-3 - Neutron Analytic for Energy Research” of the
Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) is looking for a

Postdoc / Group Leader – Neutron Scattering in Energy Materials

Link to the full job offer:
https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/careers/jobs/2024-064

Link to the institute: https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/jcns/jcns-3/ueber-uns

 

The position is initially for a fixed term of 2 years, with possible
long-term prospects.

 

Your Job:

*	Characterization of the structure and dynamics of energy materials
on the atomic and mesoscopic scale using neutron methods, complementary
X-ray experiments and support of further techniques including computer
simulations 
*	Direct responsibility for project content and implementation
*	Establishment of cooperation projects with other institutes at
Forschungszentrum Jülich (e.g. the Institute of Energy and Climate Research
(IEK), the Institute forvSustainable Hydrogen Economy (INW), or institutes
at RWTH Aachen University)
*	Acquisition of third-party funded projects
*	Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of energy materials
or their model systems
*	Development of sample environments for (in-situ / operando) neutron
and X-ray experiments
*	Supervision of PhD, MSc and BSc students

*	Publication of research results in peer-reviewed journals

 

Your profile: 

*	Scientific university degree (Master’s) followed by a PhD in
Physics, Chemistry, Material Science or related disciplines
*	Profound knowledge of the structural characterization of matter
using scattering methods, preferably including neutron and X-ray radiation
(e.g. powder diffraction, pair distribution function, quasi-elastic neutron
scattering)
*	Experience in large scale research, preferably at neutron sources
*	Experience with energy materials, e.g. fuel cells, heterogeneous
catalysts, interfaces

A distinct advantage would be:

*	Experience with high-level programming languages, e.g. Python
*	Fluent written and spoken English, knowledge of German is desirable
or the willingness to learn/improve it
*	The ability to work independently, along with a highly motivated and
creative approach to research
*	Outstanding teamwork, cooperation and communication skills

 

Our Offer:

We work on highly pertinent, socially relevant topics and offers the
opportunity to actively shape this change. We support you in your work
through:

*	Access to a strong research network at Forschungszentrum, such as
transmission electron microscopy at the Ernst-Ruska-Zentrum, the Julich
Supercomputing Centre, the Neutron-SimLab or various physicochemical
characterization methods and workshops.
*	The opportunity to help shape a new subinstitute
*	Comprehensive training programs and individual opportunities for
personal and professional development
*	Optimal conditions for balancing work and private life as well as a
family-conscious company policy
*	Flexible working hours in a full-time position (39 hours/week) with
the option of slightly reduced working hours
*	The opportunity to work flexibly (in terms of location), e.g. partly
from home 
*	30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public
holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)

 

We are looking forward to your application by 20th March 2024.

 

Kind regards

Mirijam Zobel
