lang="EN-GB">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 more than 2000 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 12 other countries. The
Science Division currently has a vacancy for a:<br>
