Vacancy for Diffraction Group Leader at ILL

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's 
leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. The ILL 
operates the brightest neutron source in the world, reliably delivering 
intense neutron beams to 40 unique scientific instruments. The Institute 
welcomes 1500 visiting scientists per year to carry out world class 
research in solid state physics, crystallography, soft matter, biology, 
chemistry and fundamental physics. Funded primarily by its three founder 
members: France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the ILL has also signed 
scientific collaboration agreements with Austria, the Czech Republic, 
Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden.

The ILL invites applications for the position of Leader for the Diffraction 
Group in its Science Division. The post represents an excellent opportunity 
for an outstanding scientist to develop his/her scientific stature and 
interact with leading scientists from around the world.

The Diffraction Group is organised within the Science Division and operates 
ten instruments exploiting the full spectrum of thermal and hot neutrons 
available at ILL. The Diffraction Group has a long history in the 
development of innovative neutron instrumentation, including polarized 
neutrons. An ambitious programme of instrumentation renewal has been 
launched to boost capabilities of the ILL instruments with new methods and 
modern technologies. Diffraction instruments at ILL bring neutrons to a 
wide community of users in chemistry, environmental and earth sciences, 
materials engineering, etc. The highly motivated Group Leader will:
    * promote the use of diffraction methods in all fields of science;
    * anticipate and propose technical developments for these methods;
    * liaise with other instrument groups at ILL and at other neutron sources;
    * have an active personal research programme;
    * encourage in-house research within the Diffraction Group;
    * supervise the scientific and technical staff in the Diffraction Group.
The successful candidate will:
    * have a distinguished research record in chemistry and materials science;
    * be experienced in diffraction methods and neutron experimental 
techniques;
    * be knowledgeable about other experimental methods;
    * be experienced in scientific, personnel and budget management;
    * possess a full command of written and spoken English (and, if 
possible, a basic command of French).
The successful candidate will be offered a permanent contract. In addition 
to a competitive salary, certain benefits (reimbursement of removal 
expenses, adaptation allowance, etc.) may be offered.
Further information on the post can be obtained from Dr. C. Vettier.

Letters of application with curriculum vitae, a list of publications and 
the names of two academic referees must be received by 28.05.2005. 
Applications should be sent, quoting reference 05/11, to:

Dr. C. Vettier, Director of Science
