Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

We are seeking a Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist to join our team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the new VENUS (BL-10) time-of-flight neutron imaging beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source. VENUS is an innovative hyperspectral (i.e., wavelength-dependent) neutron imaging beamline, nearing its completion of construction. In addition to conventional neutron imaging and tomography, VENUS is designed for measuring Bragg edges and neutron resonances and is expected to support a broad spectrum of scientific investigations. As part of our imaging team, you will support the development of a strong user community and shape the scientific direction of the user program on VENUS More details about the instrument and its science impact can be found at: https://neutrons.ornl.gov/venus.

For more information, please visit the links below. There is only one position but two postings to have the flexibility to consider both senior and junior staff:

CNRS tenure track position at IPHC, Strasbourg, France

We are pleased to announced that a CNRS tenure track position is opened in our team (DNR nuclear data for reactors, https://iphc.cnrs.fr/en/research/subatomic-research-drs/dnr-nuclear-data-for-reactors/ ) at IPHC (https://iphc.cnrs.fr/en/laboratory/), Strasbourg, France.

This contract offers a dedicated financial environment and includes teaching activities in a higher education institution. This position is offered on a fixed-term contract (CDD) under public law for a period of 3 to 6 years. After evaluation of the scientific value and professional aptitude by a tenure commission, it will allow access to a tenured position in the CNRS Research Directors' corps. (https://carrieres.cnrs.fr/en/recrutement-hors-concours/#offres-postes-de-chaires)

The title of the position is : Nuclear Data: from fundamental nuclear physics to reactors and details of the position and procedure for applications can be found here : https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CPJ/CPJ-2024-014/Default.aspx?lang=EN

We are therefore looking for candidates with experience in experimental nuclear physics and a strong interest in applied problems (especially in nuclear energy). Knowledge of semiconductor-based detection systems, data analysis and instrument simulation is required (see position description). This position will come with a financial environment of 200 k€ to hire PhD student or post doc for example.

Applications are opened from February 14, 2024 to March 20, 2024, 11:59 pm Paris time.

Candidates should contact us as soon as possible (myself, group leader, at maelle.kerveno@iphc.cnrs.fr and/or Sandrine Courtin, head of the IPHC lab, at sandrine.courtin@iphc.cnrs.fr) since the recruitment schedule is tight.
