both collaborative and personal scientific research programmes exploiting the capabilities of neutron reflectometry in the areas of hard/soft condensed matter or the life sciences. In addition to assisting with the development and running of PolRef the successful
candidate will be expected to take a lead in the advancement sample environment </span>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#0D0D0D;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">PolRef is a high throughput polarized neutron reflectometer designed for the study of a broad range of materials science
but with a predominant focus on thin film magnetism, superconductivity and hard condensed matter, but is also developing a magnetic contrast measurement community for soft matter experiments. It was constructed as part of the first phase of instrumentation
on the ISIS Second Target station and has been operating since 2009. The instrument has a wide ranging science program and serves a large community of both UK and international users.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#0D0D0D;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">PolRef is a world class instrument which delivers a high flux, broad simultaneous wavelength band (0.5-14.5Å unpolarised
1.5-14.5 polarised) The instrument can operate with either a vertical or horizontal scattering geometry and routinely performs measurements using samples with areas <1cm2. A continuous program of upgrades aims to deliver additional significant performance
increases that will further decrease samples size or measurement times.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for the study of surface and interfacial phenomena across a diverse range of research areas such as polymers, colloids, biological systems and magnetic/superconducting thin films. The Group currently supports 8 neutron instruments (small angle neutron scattering
and reflectometry) and is designing and constructing 1 further instrument for the second Target Station Project<o:p></o:p></span></p>
