A second area of responsibility is the development of neutron powder diffraction, including support of the user programme in magnetism, and a good knowledge of experimental and theoretical aspects of magnetic neutron scattering would be beneficial. The Post II appointment will be for a fixed term of three years, with the possibility of permanency, and will be at Band 5 level. The posts are suitable for experimental condensed matter scientists who have shown an aptitude for original research and both appointees would be expected to carry out vigorous personal research programmes. Experience with advanced instrumentation would be advantageous. Appointments will normally be at the Band minimum but relevant experience will be taken into account.
Further progression is dependent on performance.
A non-contributory pension scheme and a generous leave allowance are also offered.
