The European Spallation Source ESS AB will design, build and operate a multi-disciplinary, large-scale research infrastructure based on the world’s most powerful neutron source. ESS will provide scientists with unique and powerful neutron scattering instruments for the study of a large range of materials – from polymers and pharmaceuticals to membranes and molecules. The ESS project is partnered by 17 European countries, and hosted by Sweden and Denmark. The ESS will be built in Lund, Sweden, by a collaboration of European scientists and engineers. ESS is planned to produce the first neutrons by 2019. When the facility is in full operation 2025, ESS has around 450 employees.
ESS aim to ensure that staff are employed on the basis of ability and the requirements of the job, and that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment because of race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

The Neutron Optics Group of the Instrument Support Division at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Post Doc – Neutron Optics.
Description of position/department
The Neutron Optics Group is part of the Instrument Support Division under the Science Directorate. The Instrument Support Division provides the technological tools required for the design, construction and operation of the neutron instruments at ESS. The Neutron Optics group focuses on enhancing the performance of neutron sources, moderators and beam delivery systems at ESS.
Description of main responsibilities
The successful candidate will provide expertise for the Neutron Optics Group and work on innovative methods and designs for the transport of neutrons beams to experiments. The work will address issues such as neutron transport performance, coupling of guide systems to the moderators, and neutron supermirrors with reduced γ-ray production rate.
