Résumé du poste

Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in Advanced Materials Characterization. The successful candidate will work within the Diffraction Group, collaborating with ICMB Barcelona and UCM Madrid, focusing on magnetism and quantum materials using neutron diffraction and complementary X-ray techniques.

The role combines synthesis, single-crystal growth, beamtime proposals, data analysis, and dissemination through publications and conferences,

Qualifications

• PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science or closely related field.
• Strong track record in magnetism and electronic properties.
• Experience in neutron and synchrotron diffraction, preferably on single crystals.
• Expertise in state-of-the-art materials synthesis and single-crystal growth techniques would be an asset.
• Experience in interdisciplinary research collaboration would be an asset.

Responsabilités

• Contribute to synthesis, preparation, and advanced characterization of functional materials, focusing on neutron scattering (single-crystal and powder) and supplementary X-ray diffraction/spectroscopy.
• Design, prepare, and submit beamtime proposals at large-scale facilities, primarily neutron sources, with consideration of complementary experiments at synchrotron facilities.
• Collaborate with partner institutions in Spain and across Europe, contributing to joint campaigns, data analysis, and scientific discussions.
• Perform data reduction, analysis, and interpretation using state-of-the-art software tools to ensure high-quality, reproducible results.
• Disseminate research outcomes through high-impact publications, and present at national and international conferences, workshops, and meetings.
• Travel to Spanish national laboratories and other European facilities to complement Grenoble work.
