The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. It will provide researchers with unique opportunities to explore the structure of materials at the atomic level. Neutron scattering at ESS will address critical questions in physics, chemistry, geology, materials science and life science.We are now looking for an Instrument Scientist for the HEIMDAL powder diffractometer. The position is with the Diffraction & Imaging Division.About the divisionThe Diffraction & Imaging Division consists of the scientific staff that are leading the instrument construction projects and the staff that will eventually execute the day-to-day operations of six neutron instruments. The upcoming responsibilities of the division areFinalize the installation and commissioning of all instruments in the divisionDeliver state-of-the-art scientific capabilities for internal and external users to enable the wider science community to advance science and technologyDeliver scientific results from the neutron instruments in collaboration with the user community and other divisions in the science directoratePlan and implement further developments and upgrades of the instrumentsPush the state-of-the-art capabilities of neutron instrumentation to make maximum benefit from the ESS source.Main ResponsibilitiesHEIMDAL is a multiscale diffractometer that, in its full scope, will enable studies of functional materials across a wide range of length scales, from conventional powder diffraction to the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) regime (possible future upgrade). The construction of the diffractometer part of the instrument is ongoing and expected to be completed in 2027. The immediate mission is to finalize the installation…
