It hosts the neutron source BER II and the Berlin Synchrotron Light Source BESSY II, which are outstanding user facilities open to scientists from all over the world. The department Research
with Spallation Neutrons operates the cold-neutron triple-axis instrument V2/FLEXX and in future expands into a research programme investigating fundamental aspects in materials for efficient energy transport. </span></pre>

Modeling and experimental verification of dispersion properties as well as the precise determination of phonon lifetimes give the necessary insights. The experimental opportunities offered
at BER II and BESSY II provide </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">excellent instruments for spectroscopic investigations on structural (and magnetic) excitations. Highest energy resolution is achieved with the neutron
resonance spin echo technique and knowledge about Larmor-labelling techniques would be an asset. Along with the study of elementary phonon modes systematic investigation of structural
properties will be performed with synchrotron radiation. The candidate is expected to have experience in either neutron or synchrotron radiation scattering methods. </span></pre>
