The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron material research facility in the world, we are seeking to appoint an Instrument Scientist to join the Spectroscopy Division within the Science Directorate at ESS. You will work as an instrument scientist on the BIFROST instrument, an extreme environment cold spectrometer.

First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. Ideally, this means a PhD in physical, chemical or materials sciences with research interests and a publication record aligned with the science case of the BIFROST instrument. Experience and technical interest in instrumentation and spectroscopy, preferably using time of flight techniques is a prerequisite for this role.

Any additional prior experience or knowledge working with neutron scattering instrumentation, data treatment and modelling at a level sufficient to guide the development of instrument specific software, programming experience - preferably in Python - or experience with neutron optics and Monte Carlo ray tracing simulations would be a distinct advantage.
