Missions
The LLB is recruiting a researcher/research engineer as co-head of the small angle neutron diffraction spectrometer SAM. This position will be located at the Institut Laue-Langevin (Grenoble).
Activities
- Integration with the SAM instrument team, in connection with the instrument manager and the technical manager.
- Reception of external users on the themes either of condensed matter (physics of the solid, glasses and metallurgy) and magnetism, or biology, to conduct experiments on the SAM instrument.
- Processing and modeling of experimental data.
- Development of new sample environments (for example SAXS, light diffusion, Raman, MIEZE option), in connection with user requests.
- Development of a research activity in collaboration with the LLB research groups: Matiere Molle et Biologie (MMB), Nouvelles Frontieres de la Matiere Quantique (NFMQ).
Skills
- Expertise in scattering radiation at small angles of X-rays and/or neutrons.
- Previous research experience in solid state physics (magnetic nano-objects, skyrmions), glass physics, metallurgy, or biology.
- Ability to work in a team and interact with interlocutors from various professions.
- Ability to work in an international environment.
Work Context
The Laboratoire Léon-Brillouin (LLB) is the French neutron scattering laboratory. Its mission is to develop its own research using neutron scattering, the construction, maintenance and operation of instruments installed around different neutron sources in Europe, as well as training in neutron scattering techniques.
