Description of division The Neutron Instruments Division within the Science Directorate consists of 9 instrument scientists and post- docs responsible for the design, construction and then operation of the neutron instruments of the ESS. New designs for a wide range of neutron instruments are in the process of being developed, optimized to take full advantage of the unique long-pulse time structure of the neutron source. The ESS instrument scientists have the experience and skills required to perform and lead the development of these innovative neutron instruments and the subsequent construction projects. Main responsibilities The primary task is to develop new concepts for extreme-environments and engineering diffractometers, including evaluation of existing and new technologies and participation in relevant instrument meetings and workshops. The successful candidate will also contribute to the requirements for the sample environments and sample support facilities for the user programme of the instrument. In the case of a permanent appointment, the successful candidate will be required to prioritize, initiate and lead collaboration projects with colleagues in ESS partner countries and, in the longer term, lead an instrument construction project, bringing a new instrument on-line for the European neutron user community. The instrument suite at the ESS is being developed in close consultation with the European user community and the successful candidate is expected to consult with this community in order to prepare the design and scientific case for extreme-environments & engineering diffraction. Independent research is an integral part of the instrument scientist’s duties. The selected candidate will be invited to join in an existing research project based at the ESS and/or collaborating universities. A candidate with significant previous post-doctoral experience in a scientific area relevant to extreme-environment or engineering diffraction, will also be given the opportunity to develop their own research project. Up to half the time of the selected candidate will be devoted to pursuing this research interest, preferably at operating neutron research centres. Synergies with the neighbouring MAX-IV synchrotron as well as strong links with universities will be encouraged. In the case of a permanent appointment, ESS will support and encourage the candidate to take up an adjunct position at a university in an ESS partner country, in order to facilitate their own research. Qualifications You have a PhD in one of the physical sciences and experience in diffraction studies in high magnetic field, at high pressure or for engineering applications, a proactive approach, ability to work both independently and in a team environment, and a keen interest in both instrument development and experimental research. Preference will be given to candidates with a recognized international profile in a research area relevant to neutron diffraction, as well as hands-on experience in operation, maintenance, development and construction of neutron scattering instrumentation, especially instruments for extreme-environment or engineering diffraction. Your interpersonal and networking skills are excellent and demonstrated by your ability to establish effective relationships and networks inside and outside the organization. You are genuinely interested in teamwork and recognise the value of consulting others in order to succeed. Sharing your expertise as well as continuously developing yourself professionally will be a key success factor. A development project such as this requires the ability to adapt and cope with changing circumstances and as working in an international environment will challenge your ability to handle cultural diversity, it is important that you have successfully managed this in previous employments. Experience of working in an international environment is essential and we expect you to be fluent in written and spoken English. What ESS can offer At ESS we offer people with talent and passion a unique opportunity to be involved in the development and building of a world-leading facility for materials research. Besides attractive employment and relocation conditions, the flexibility to balance work life with private life and good opportunities to further enhance your skills, you will also enjoy being part of a company culture that promotes and supports internal career growth. Duration & Location The position is either permanent with six months initial probationary period or 2-years fixed term depending on experience. Your work place will be situated in Lund, Sweden. The position is to be filled as soon as possible. Application & Contact Please provide your curriculum vitae and covering letter in English by clicking on “apply” and following the instructions. It is a requirement of our application process that the names and contact details of three references be provided. Please note that references will not be contacted until approved by candidate. Last application date is 25 August, 2013. Please note we only accept applications via the ESS website. For further information about the position, please contact Prof. Ken Andersen, ken.andersen[at]esss.se (unavailable 1-7 July).

ESS will provide scientists with unique and powerful neutron scattering instruments for the study of a large range of materials – from polymers and pharmaceuticals to membranes and molecules. The ESS project is partnered by 17 European countries, and hosted by Sweden and Denmark. The ESS will be built in Lund, Sweden, by a collaboration of European scientists and engineers. ESS is planned to produce the first neutrons by 2019. When the facility is in full operation 2025, ESS has around 450 employees. ESS aim to ensure that staff are employed on the basis of ability and the requirements of the job, and that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment because of race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
