De: neutron-bounces@neutronsources.org de la part de Jan Saroun Envoyé: mardi 19 mars 2013 15:04 À: neutron@neutronsources.org Objet: [Neutron] NPL job announcement - instrument scientist, strain diffractometer Pièces jointes: ATT00001.txt Nuclear Physics Institute of the ASCR in ?ež near Prague, Czech Republic, invites applications for an instrument scientist in neutron diffraction. The position is open to candidates who have (or are about to receive) a PhD in physics, chemistry, material science and engineering or related areas, and have a proven record of experience with experimental research in materials science. A background in neutron or X-ray diffraction is highly desirable. The candidate should have good communication skills. The Nuclear Physics Institute ASCR, public research institution, is a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. With about 250 employees, it hosts the user infrastructure CANAM (see http://canam.ujf.cas.cz/), which includes also the Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPL). The NPL combines expertise in the field of materials science with the power of neutron physics. It operates user facilities, which are open to both national and international guest scientists. The successful candidate will participate in the research and development work associated with neutron scattering instrumentation at the neutron diffractometers dedicated to strain/stress characterization. Responsibilities include cooperating with visiting researchers in conducting experiments and reducing data in subjects like micro- or macro-strain characterization in materials (e.g. welded metals) in the frame of the CANAM Open Access user program. At the NPL, at least 40% of the instrument beam time is reserved for external research proposals. She/he will also participate in the instrument development as well as in equipment and software upgrade projects at the diffractometer. Instrument Scientist is also expected to develop research program (preferably in the field of stress/strain characterization and related topics) using the diffractometer and/or other facilities at the NPL. For more infromation, contact Dr. Pavel Strunz (strunz@ujf.cas.cz). Timescale of the appointment: The appointment will initially be for three years with the possibility of extension (subject to satisfactory performance). Closing date for applications: 22 April 2013 Applicants should send a letter of application, a detailed academic C.V., a list of publications, the contact details of at least two academic referees and copies of degrees to Pavel Strunz Nuclear Physics Institute, ONF CZ-25068 ?ež near Prague, Czech Republic phone: +420-2-6617-2034 fax: +420-2-2094-0141 e-mail: strunz@ujf.cas.cz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Links: CANAM infrastructure: http://canam.ujf.cas.cz/ NPL laboratory: http://neutron.ujf.cas.cz/en/instruments/lvr15 SPN-100 stress/strain diffractomete: http://neutron.ujf.cas.cz/en/hk4
