**Instrument Scientist - Neutron Powder Diffraction D20 (and D2B)**

**Context**
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) is a world-leading research facility dedicated to neutron science, providing cutting-edge instrumentation for a wide range of scientific disciplines. Within the Diffraction Group, the high-intensity neutron powder diffractometer D20 plays a key role in studying the structural properties of materials under various conditions.
D20 is characterized by a high throughput of relatively short but complex experiments. Strong scientific expertise in crystallography and diffraction methods — particularly parametric powder diffraction — is essential, as well as the ability to work effectively with a diverse user community, ranging from experienced researchers to first-time users and students. Enhanced support in data analysis is expected to increase further the publication rate of experiments conducted on the instrument.

**Your tasks**
- Developing a research activity in high-intensity (parametric) powder diffraction, in collaboration with the user community and as part of a personal research programme.
- Providing support to users for scientific experiments on the D20 diffractometer, and on other powder diffractometers, in particular the high-resolution diffractometer D2B, with the possibility of also acting as Local Contact on single-crystal diffractometers or other ILL instruments.
- Initiating development and maintenance for the D20 diffractometer and sample environment equipment for in-situ diffraction, i.e. involving gas-handling, high pressure, high temperatures or electrochemical environments.
- Facilitating instrument control and data reduction, in collaboration with the relevant in-house services. The drive must nevertheless come from the scientist, and programming skills, e.g. Python, will be very helpful here.
- Promoting the ILL diffraction and neutron scattering programme and engaging in teaching and training activities.

**Your profile**
- A PhD in chemistry, physics or materials science, or equivalent.
- Demonstrated experience in chemical crystallography.
- Experience with complex experimental environments (e.g. gas handling, in-situ chemistry, high pressure, high temperature).
- Knowledge in relevant fields such as electrochemistry, sequestration, storage and transportation of gases, metal-organic frameworks, etc.
- Experience in neutron and/or X-ray scattering techniques.
- In-depth knowledge of powder diffraction methods.
- Experience with the Rietveld method and optionally the „PDF“-method in terms of data analysis.
- Knowledge of crystallography is essential. Knowledge of neutron scattering and programming languages (in particular Python) would be valuable assets.
