ISIS is a world leading facility for condensed matter research using neutron
scattering and muon spectroscopy, with a strong scientific user programme
and extensive international links.
ISIS is in a period of major expansion, including the construction of a
second Target Station, with an initial phase of 7 new instruments, to be
operational in 2008.
We are looking for world-class scientists, instrument developers and
electrical engineers who can make major contributions to our current and
future research programmes.
Senior Scientists (2 positions)
Scientists (8 positions)
Electrical Engineers (9 positions)
PA to the Director (1 position)

VN2624: Senior Scientist (Diffraction)
Type Full-time
Department/Centre ISIS Department
Location RAL
Office RAL
All application forms must be returned by 6 December 2004.
Description
We are looking for a scientist with a proven research record to play a
leadership role in the development of diffraction techniques at ISIS, both
in terms of instrumentation and applications. The post will involve line
management, project management and budget management responsibilities. The
jobholder should be able to lead a team to achieve both short term and long
term goals. The successful candidate should demonstrate a broad experience
and outlook and an innovative approach.
VN2625: Senior Scientist (Biomolecular Sciences)
Type Full-time
Department/Centre ISIS Department
Location RAL
Office RAL
All application forms must be returned by 6 December 2004.
Description
The Large Scale Structures Group provides neutron scattering facilities and
expertise for the study of surface and interfacial phenomena across a
diverse range of research areas such as polymers, colloids, biological
systems and magnetic thin films. The Group currently supports 3 neutron
instruments (reflectometry and small angle neutron scattering) and is
designing 4 instruments for the second Target Station Project.
A full time vacancy exists to support and develop the study of biological
systems at ISIS by fully exploiting the unique capabilities of small angle
scattering, reflectometry and deuteration. Biomolecular sciences have been
highlighted as a central scientific theme of the second Target Station
project, and as such the position represents an excellent opportunity to
expand collaborative and personal scientific research programmes in this key
expanding area. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will work
extensively with the existing neutron community and provide expert support
for their activities at ISIS. Furthermore, they will proactively engage with
potential new user groups and interact with the biomolecular sciences
activity on the Rutherford campus, in particular that related to the new
Diamond synchrotron and the associated research complex, by leading
initiatives to exploit the use of neutron scattering in biological science.
The position requires a proven research record in biomolecular sciences.
Relevant neutron scattering experience is desirable, though not essential.

VN2623: Instrument Scientist, Molecular Science Group
(Inelastic/quasi-elastic scattering)
Type Full-time
Department/Centre ISIS Department
Location RAL
Office RAL
All application forms must be returned by 6 December 2004.
Description
There is an opportunity for a highly motivated and independent scientist to
assume responsibility for the scientific programme and future development of
the two backscattering instruments, IRIS and OSIRIS. The jobholder will be
required to provide scientific support for the ISIS User Programme and will
be strongly encouraged to build collaborations with UK and foreign visiting
scientists.
Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant science area. The successful
candidate will have a proven track record in molecular science. Experience
with inelastic and/or quasi-elastic neutron scattering is an advantage. The
ability to carry out independent research and an innovative outlook towards
instruments and technique development will be counted as strong assets.
Experience in the use of central facilities and the proven ability to
develop instrumentation and/or data analysis software would also be an
advantage.
