HAHN MEITNER INSTITUTE, BERLIN
Department of Magnetism
1 scientist PH.D.
(Physicist, Chemist, Crystallographer)
We invite applications for four postdoctoral positions in the Berlin
Neutron Scattering Centre BENSC at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin,
Germany. The Hahn-Meitner-Institut is a German National Laboratory and
a member of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association of National Research
Centres and has about 800 employees. It hosts the Berlin Neutron
Scattering Center (http://www.hmi.de/bensc/), a user facility open to
scientists from all over the world. To probe the structure and
dynamics of solids and liquids, BENSC provides the national and
international research community with state-of-the-art neutron
scattering equipment and expertise.
Reference no. SF 2008/7
The successful candidate will join the Novel Materials Group and take
part in the research program (http://www.hmi.de/people/argyriou),
whose activities focus on strongly correlated magnetic oxides such as
multiferroic manganites, sodium cobaltate as well as frustrated
magnetic systems. She/he will take responsibility for the High
Resolution Powder Diffractometer E9 (http://www.hmi.de/bensc/). The
candidate will be expected to organize the user experimental program,
coordinate technical support and provide support for users on E9 (30%
of time). A broad knowledge in condensed matter physics or chemistry
and a background in neutron or x ray scattering, magnetism,
crystallography or solid-state synthesis methods are highly desired.
Staff at BENSC have access to 30% of the beamtime on all neutron
scattering instruments and to internal beam time at the HMI beam lines
at the BESSY synchrotron for their own research.
For informal inquiries, please contact Dr. Dimitri Argyriou (phone:
+49-30-8062-3016, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
The appointment is for 3 years. Applicants should send a letter of
application, a detailed CV, two academic references, a list of
publications and copies of degrees to Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin,
Abt. Personal und Soziales, Glienicker Str. 100, D-14109 Berlin,
Germany, quoting the respective reference no. for the position (email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
