About the role:

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 source in the world, we are seeking to appoint an Instrument Scientist to join the Instrument Scientists Group (ISG) at ESS - which is currently leading the construction projects of the 15 neutron instruments that will make use of the high intensity neutron beams to study the structure and dynamics of matter and materials.

As our next instrument scientist, you will lead the the VESPA instrument project to oversee the completion of design, building, and commissioning of the instrument and - in the future - its operation in collaboration with ESS staff and user community. VESPA is a thermal neutron vibrational spectrometer, and will be used in a wide range of chemistry, physics and materials science as well as their applications. The ESS brilliance into the thermal range will be sufficient to match the leading neutron vibrational spectrometers in intensity and resolution in the so-called “fingerprint region” (60-220 meV), a range most important to identify functional groups. This represents a great scientific opportunity in the area of in situ measurements for catalysis and renewable energies not only for basic but also for applied scientific research. The instrument requires completion of design (particularly for the secondary spectrometer), installation, and a commissioning period before delivery to the ESS user programme.

Within the role, you will provide expertise in the scientific application of neutron vibrational spectroscopy (NVS) and in NVS method development. This means collaborating with the VESPA Lead Engineer and our in-kind partner CNR to plan, manage and execute the completion of the design, the installation, and the commissioning of the VESPA instrument. In the future, we also expect that you will work with the Science directorate, our partner CNR, and our user community to prepare “First Science” experiments to be carried out during the initial operation phase of ESS and also provide support the user programme at ESS by performing local contacting duties and collaborative research.

This is a fixed-term position for a period of 3-years - with the possibility of an extension - and is based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden.

About you:

To thrive with us in the Instrument Scientists Group, you need to be a self-motivated person who is keen to support an instrument team in order to get it ready for first neutrons. You should be a ‘hands-on’ person who is open to learn new things along the way.

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 VESPA instrument. Experience and technical interest in instrumentation and neutron vibrational spectroscopy, preferably using time of flight techniques is a prerequisite for this role. The position will involve frequent travel to CNR, ISIS and SNS until the hot commissioning phase.

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.

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English but it would be great if you could also work in Swedish as well. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible!
