Hello dear simulators,<br>
<br>
A position has just been opened (until Aug 21st 2009) at the ILL in our
Computing for Science group. This is an initial 5 years contract +
possible extension as permanent. A golden place to work, with exciting
science and fellows.<br>

<i>The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL <a href="http://www.ill.eu">http://www.ill.eu</a>),
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 1700
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 10 other European countries.
The Science Division currently has a vacancy for a :</i><br>

<b>Duties:</b><br>
As part of the Computing for Science Group, the successful candidate
will work closely with other members of the group, ILL scientists and
users, supporting and developing one or more of the group's activities
(see <a href="http://www.ill.eu/computing-for-science/home/">http://www.ill.eu/computing-for-science/home/</a>).
These include:
<ul>
<li><i><b>Data analysis</b></i> - the group develops data
visualisation and analysis programs for a wide range of neutron
scattering experiments. A number of languages are used ranging from
Fortran and C to IDL and Matlab.</li>
<li><i><b>Instrument simulations</b></i> - new instruments and
instrument upgrades, which can involve complex neutron optics, require
Monte Carlo ray-tracing simulations for design optimisation. In
particular, the widely used McStas code is jointly developed at Risoe
and ILL.</li>
<li><i><b>Sample simulations</b></i> - in complex systems,
understanding experimental data can benefit greatly from the use of
total energy calculations, for example, based on density functional
theory for crystalline and magnetic materials.</li>
</ul>

</pre>
<b>Qualifications and experience:</b><br>
The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and have a keen interest
in developing the use of computing in analysing and understanding
neutron scattering data. He/she should have experience in scientific
computing, a PhD in condensed matter science and preferably some
experience in neutron scattering. He/she must be able to contribute to
the data analysis work of the group. In particular, for this post,
preference will be given to candidates with experience in <b><i>diffraction.</i></b><br>
<br>
<b>Notes:</b><br>
Fixed-term contract of <b>5 years</b> with a possibility of becoming <b>permanent.</b>
Generous company benefits (adaptation and expatriation allowance),
relocation assistance and language courses may be offered. Further
information can be obtained by contacting the Computing for Science
