diffraction
Pièces jointes:	ATT00001.txt

The Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPL) at the Nuclear Physics Institute, ?ež near Prague, Czech 
Republic, invites applications for an instrument scientist position in the neutron diffraction 
group. 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. The candidate should preferably have 
a background in neutron or X-ray diffraction methods and good technical and communication 
skills.
The successful candidate will participate in the research and development work associated with 
neutron scattering instrumentation at the neutron diffractometers dedicated to characterization of 
microstrains and deformation mechanism in technologically important materials. Responsibilities 
will include the cooperation with visiting researchers in conducting experiments and data 
reduction in the subjects like microstrain characterization of materials within the open access user 
program of CANAM. She/he will also participate in the instrumental equipment and software 
upgrade projects at the diffractometer. The instrument scientist is also expected to develop her/his 
own research program using the diffractometer and/or other facilities at NPL, preferably in the 
field of characterization of microstrains and deformation mechanism in alloys and related topics. 
For further information, please 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: 31 October 2015.  
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

Additional information: 
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, which includes also Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPL). The NPL research team 
combines expertise in the field of materials science with the power of neutron physics. The user 
facilities of NPL are open to both national and international guest scientists - at least 40% of the 
instrument beam time is reserved for external research proposals.
