Jülich Center for Neutron Science (JCNS) |
| Job Title | 3 Physicists – Instrument layout and simulation - Post Doc |
| Contact | Michael Monkenbusch <m.monkenbusch@fz-juelich.de> |
| URL | http://www.juelich.de |
| Description |
For planning and design work on neutron scattering instruments for the upcoming European Spallation Source (ESS) we are searching 3 scientists with a strong background in physics. The work is part of the German contribution to the "Design-update phase" of the ESS and will be executed in Jülich. The tasks comprise the conceptual layout and design of neutron diffractometers and spectrometers that may be build at the ESS and their optimisation to the parameters of the long pulse spallation neutron source ESS. After an initial layout phase using analytical considerations further assessment of concepts and designs shall be conducted using computer simulation codes (e.g. McStas and VITESS). For the verification of certain results experiments at existing instruments and test beam lines in Garching (FRMII), Berlin (HZB) and Oak Ridge (SNS) can be performed. The project requires close collaboration and information exchange with the ESS-AB organization in Lund (Sweden). Introduction into the field and support by experienced scientists and engineers in Jülich will be given throughout. Qualifications and skills required: A university degree plus a PhD in physics; ability to work in an interdisciplinary and international team; ability to work on your own initiative; ability to collaborate with research groups from FZJ and external users; knowledge on the field of scattering experiments or optics; computer skills, in particular knowledge of C/C++; willingness to travel to other institutions and facilities for information exchange and experiments. |
