The current position is for an Instrument Scientist for ODIN, a versatile time-of-flight neutron imaging instrument designed to exploit the long-pulse source at ESS for wavelength-resolved, multimodal, and in-situ time-of-flight neutron imaging. ODIN will enable novel studies across materials science, engineering, energy technologies, and geoscience through techniques such as wavelength-resolved neutron radiography/tomography, dark-field imaging and polarized imaging.

The successful candidate will work closely with detector experts, data/software developers, and scientific collaborators to support final installation, commissioning, and early scientific operations of ODIN. The role also includes developing scientific applications of time-of-flight neutron imaging and supporting ESS users in the planning and execution of experiments. 

The position provides the opportunity to pursue independent research within the field of neutron imaging and to develop projects that align with ODIN’s scientific mission. Collaboration with the neighbouring MAX IV synchrotron and universities in ESS member countries is strongly encouraged. ESS will support and encourage the candidate to take up an adjunct university position to facilitate their research and supervision of students.
