<h1><span lang="EN-US">Lead Scientist – Centralised Polarisation System for Neutron Scattering Instruments
<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p class="extid"><span lang="EN-US">Ref 8030142<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h1><span lang="EN-US">Description of the Directorate / Division / Group<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The Instrument Technologies Division is part of the Science Directorate, which executes the Neutron Scattering Systems (NSS) project. The NSS scope is to design, build and commission neutron scattering instruments, and the Instrument Technologies
Division, together with its in-kind partners, is dedicated to providing and supporting key components not only during construction but also during operation of the facility’s scientific instruments. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2><span lang="EN-US">Description of main responsibilities<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The expected high brightness of ESS is ideally suited to using polarised beams and polarisation analysis on the neutron scattering instruments, which are currently being designed and built by partners involving the majority of neutron
scattering facilities in Europe. The use of polarised beams and polarisation analysis allows the unambiguous separation of structural, magnetic and incoherent scattering contributions, which has applications throughout biology, soft matter, chemistry and condensed
matter physics taking advantage of the inherent strengths of neutrons in being able to see hydrogen atoms and investigate magnetism in novel materials. Whereas the scientific capabilities of many of the first 15 neutron instruments would benefit from polarisation
of incident beams and polarisation analysis of scattered beams, few have this in their current scope of construction. ESS will provide polarisation and polarisation analysis capabilities to the instruments via a central service through the Instrument Technologies
Division.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The successful candidate will initially report directly to the Head of the Division but work closely with other scientists and engineers within the Directorate. She/he will need to define the scope and detailed project plan, which will
deliver a centralised polarisation system for the neutron scattering instruments by December 2023. She/he will be setting up and executing the project, which will require to liaise with instruments construction teams, ESS Scientific and Technical Advisory
Panels and other stakeholders to ensure that technical solutions fulfil not only long-term availability and reliability criteria for systems, sub-systems and components but equally so the high-level scientific requirements of the neutron scattering instruments.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Once the Directorate starts operating the instruments it is foreseen to transfer the position into one of the technical groups within the division to provide support and technical assistance during the operation of instruments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
