The successful candidate is expected to participate in existing neutron scattering research projects as well as initiate an active research program of his/her own in Condensed Matter Physics/Materials Science utilizing powder diffraction. He/She is expected
to be significantly involved in the upgrade of one of the powder diffractometers (using linear PSD’s), implementing new hardware and software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">Candidates are expected to have a PhD in physics, chemistry, or materials science. A strong background in neutron scattering is required, preferably with expertise in powder diffraction and FullProf data analysis. Previous experience
with neutron scattering instrumentation, especially familiarity with linear position sensitive detectors (linear PSD’s) is considered to be a distinct advantage. Excellent computer skills would be desirable. The evaluation of candidates will be based on scientific
qualifications and ability to communicate effectively. Fluency in English is essential.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
