[Neutron] Vacancy for Research Scientist at ILL

[Marie Claude Muller]

Research Scientist position 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 7 other European countries.

The Science Division currently has a vacancy in its Three-Axis Spectrometer 
(TAS) Group for a RESEARCH SCIENTIST (M/F).
The post represents an excellent opportunity for a young postdoctoral 
scientist to develop his/her expertise, broaden experience and interact 
with leading scientists from around the world. Applications from more 
experienced scientists who are able to obtain a secondment period from 
their home institute will also be considered.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated scientist with a Ph.D. 
in solid-state physics or chemistry and an interest in instrumentation and 
computing. Some experience of neutron scattering, preferably in the field 
of the study of collective excitations in crystals, will be appreciated.
In addition to carrying out his/her own research programme, he/she will 
take care, in collaboration with the first instrument responsible, of the 
operation and development of the three-axis spectrometer IN8, which is 
installed on a thermal neutron beam.
His/her duties will also include promoting scientific partnerships in 
his/her field of research and acting on a regular basis as local contact 
for outside users carrying out experiments at the ILL, in particular on the 
various instruments in the TAS group.

The successful candidate will be offered a fixed-term contract, the 
duration of which will under no circumstances exceed five (5) years.  In 
addition to a competitive salary, certain benefits (reimbursement of 
removal expenses, adaptation allowance, etc.) may be offered.
