<p>ESS invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position via the CREMLINPlus grant, at the ESS Detector facilities in Lund, from 1<sup>st</sup> of November 2021 and until 30<sup>th</sup> of October 2023 (2 years).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Job description</span></strong><b><br>
</b>The successful candidate will be participating in the Multi-Blade detector technology project, led by Dr. Francesco Piscitelli. The primary focus of the work will be the successful completion of building a neutron detector for the PIK reactor in St. Petersburg,
as part of the CREMLINPlus grant. The candidate will work closely with a team of various Mechanical Engineers and with other Detector Scientists and Technicians. This work is part of a collaboration with JINR- Dubna, PIK- St. Petersburg in Russia and the University
of Milano-Bicocca - Italy. The work will be shared mostly between the ESS offices and the Detector Group workshops in Lund as required. You might also be given the opportunity to visit other collaborating partners and neutron centers, as necessary, in particular
time may be spent at the different partner institutes. Mobility will be subject to the status of the pandemic and the employer’s respective guidelines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>To a lesser extent (30%) the successful candidate will work on generic and specific detector simulations as required, aimed at improving the detector design, in particular for instruments at PIK and ESS.<o:p></o:p></p>
