physics,
crystallography, soft matter, biology, chemistry and fundamental
physics.

you will be involved in day-to-day running of a single crystal
diffractometer.
The range of science covered in the Diffraction Group is very broad
going from
structural aspects of hard condensed matter physics (structural phase
transitions, magnetism, high pressure, etc.) to chemical
crystallography (small
and medium molecules, hydrogen bonding, etc). We are looking in
particular for
a second instrument responsible for the <b>D9</b> single crystal
diffractometer. In
addition to carrying out a personal research programme, you will also
participate in the development and operation of the instrument and
assist <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">ILL</st1:State></st1:place>’s
visiting

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
