Post-Doc Fellowship: Ray tracing for USANS option on SANS instruments

A post-doctoral position is available at the European Photon & Neutron (EPN)
Science Campus in Grenoble (France).

The EPN Science Campus is a site of excellence for cutting-edge science in
several fields and it is a very exciting place to work on science,
grouping in the same area three major institutes of research in Europe
(Institut Laue Langevin, European synchrotron Radiation Facilities,
European Molecular Biology Laboratory and their partnerships). To learn
more about EPN Science Campus go to: http://www.epn- campus.eu/about-us.

The main focus of the project is to perform ray-tracing calculation, using
McStas code, in order to design tailored Ultra Small Angle Neuron
Scattering (USANS) option on SANS instruments. The construction of a
prototype is also planned and the candidate could be involved in the
design, engineering and experimental tests.

The post-doctoral fellowship will start in the beginning of 2015 and it
will be running for one year with possibility of renewal.

Requirements: the candidate should be either a EU citizen or a national
from a country with free circulation EU agreements. Other nationals should
posses a working permit in EU.

Qualified candidates must have obtained a PhD degree in one of the
following disciplines: Physics and/or Chemistry, Material Science,
Material Engineering, Chemistry Engineering, Nuclear Engineering.
Knowledge in ray tracing and instrumentation design will be strongly
considered. Experience in SANS and USANS measurements and publications
related to them will be valuable.
We are searching for a candidate very motivated in development of
instrumentation with skills in working in team and in independent way.
Taking into account the international character of the project and the
necessity to work with people from groups in different country in EU, a
good knowledge of English (both written and oral) is required.
If you are interested, please, send as soon as possible but no later than
the end of December 2014, an email with your CV either to:
Dr. Claudia Mondelli (Project Leader), email: mondelli at ill.fr
Dr. Ralf Schweins, email: schweins at ill.eu

If you know any potential candidate, please pass-on this announce !
