Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
we would like to announce an open position for a research scientist
in the field of structure analysis using neutron powder diffraction.<br>
<br>
A post-doctoral position is open at the Nuclear Physics Institute in
Řež, Czech Republic, for an instrument scientist who will be
responsible for the operation and further development of the neutron
powder diffractometer MEREDIT and conducting research using neutron
diffraction in the field of condensed matter physics and material
research in collaboration with external users.<br>
<br>
<b>About </b><b>Nuclear Physics Institute CAS</b> <br>
Nuclear Physics Institute CAS (NPI), public research institution,
conducts research in a broad field of nuclear physics, experimental
as well as theoretical. The Department of Neutron Physics at NPI
operates several neutron scattering instruments including the
neutron powder diffractometer MEREDIT
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://neutron.ujf.cas.cz/meredit">http://neutron.ujf.cas.cz/meredit</a>). In the frame of CANAM
infrastructure, this diffractometer serves both internal and
external users to study crystal structures in-situ under various
sample conditions (high and low temperatures, mechanical loading).<br>
<br>
<b>Job description</b><br>
The successful candidate will be responsible for the research
program at the powder diffractometer MEREDIT, developing its
capability and related experimental methods, including in-situ
techniques and data analysis methods. This position involves
collaboration with external users of the diffractometer by providing
expertise and support during experiments, participation on data
analysis and publication of results. The candidate is also expected
to develop his/her own research program in the area related to the
scientific scope of the diffractometer MEREDIT.<br>
The duration of the fixed-term contract is up to three years
(renewable for a further period subject to performance), starting at
the earliest convenience of the successful candidate. We offer the
work in a group of motivated researchers, professional growth, and a
competitive salary (depending on experience and potential in
research).<br>
Please address specific questions to this position to: Dr. Jan
Saroun, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:saroun@ujf.cas.cz">saroun@ujf.cas.cz</a><br>
<br>
<b>Requested Profile</b><br>
Applicants are expected to have, or be working towards, a doctoral
degree (PhD) in a relevant scientific field such as material
physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials engineering or a
related field. Ability of autonomous scientific work evidenced by a
publication record in peer reviewed scientific journals, flexibility
and teamwork, fluent communication in English are all requirements.
Experience with diffraction methods and programs for Rietveld
analysis is most welcome.<br>
<br>
<b>How to Apply</b><br>
Please send your application including motivation letter, curriculum
vitae with a publication record, copy of diploma and/or PhD
certificate and references, by e-mail to<br>
