<p><strong>Information about the project: <br>
</strong>The project is focused on strengthening the Swedish
competence within neutron scattering. We are looking for postdoc
to be stationed at the Super ADAM instrument at ILL, Grenoble,
which is the only fully Swedish owned and operated neutron
instrument. Super ADAM is a high resolution polarized neutron
reflectometer suited for both magnetic, hard condensed matter and
soft matter, life science investigations. The postdoc is expected
to conduct their own research within the field of soft matter and
life sciences and to assist Swedish Super ADAM users, mainly in
the soft matter/life science field to conduct their experiments ad
the Super ADAM instrument. Collaboration and support from
researchers at Lund and Uppsala University will be offered. We
envisage that the postdoc has experience with neutron scattering
techniques within polymer, surfactant, lipid self-assembly,
proteins, biomembrane or other fields of interest for the Swedish
user community. The detail research field is dependent on the
experience and interest of the candidate, but ideally it showed be
somehow associated with the particular advantages of SuperADAM,
including using magnetic reference layers for soft matter/life
science systems and the use of off-specular/grazing incidence
neutron scattering.</p>
<p> The recruited person will have the opportunity to collaborate
with scientists from the Large Scale Structures group and profit
from the equipment present in the ILL soft matter labs within the
Partnership for Soft Matter initiative which includes several
tools for sample preparation and characterization as Langmuir
troughs, ellipsometers, QCM-D, light scattering, XRR. For more

<strong>Qualifications:<br>
</strong>Applicants must hold a PhD in Biophysics, Physics,
Chemistry, Materials Science or a similar area of science.
Excellent experimental skills are indispensable as well as very good
communication to support users and collaborators. A strong
background in neutron scattering methods and in particular their
application to challenges in soft matter and life science is an
advantage. Good computer skills and a solid background in condensed
matter physics and mathematics are further merits. Excellent
knowledge of English, writing and speaking, is required. The
knowledge of a Nordic and/or the French language may complete the
profile. Eagerness to learn Swedish is assumed for non-Swedish
speaking candidate.
