The payment is according to the Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst (TVöD). The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH (http://www.helmholtz- berlin.de/) is a German National Research Laboratory and a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres. It hosts the neutron source BER II and the Berlin Synchrotron Light Source BESSY II, which are outstanding user facilities open to scientists from all over the world. The department Research with Spallation Neutrons operates the cold-neutron triple-axis instrument V2/FLEXX and in future expands into a research programme investigating fundamental aspects in materials for efficient energy transport. The successful candidate is expected to conduct her/his own research programme in the field of condensed matter physics investigating fundamental transport phenomena in particular in thermoelectric materials using neutron scattering and synchrotron facilities as well as the supporting laboratory infrastructure at HZB. Key to an effective materials design is a basic understanding of fundamental scattering processes governing the transport phenomena of phonons at simultaneously large electronic conductivity. Modeling and experimental verification of dispersion properties as well as the precise determination of phonon lifetimes give the necessary insights. The experimental opportunities offered at BER II and BESSY II provide excellent instruments for spectroscopic investigations on structural (and magnetic) excitations. Highest energy resolution is achieved with the neutron resonance spin echo technique and knowledge about Larmor-labelling techniques would be an asset. Along with the study of elementary phonon modes systematic investigation of structural properties will be performed with synchrotron radiation. The candidate is expected to have experience in either neutron or synchrotron radiation scattering methods. For informal inquiries, please contact Dr. Klaus Habicht (E-Mail: habicht@helmholtz-berlin.de). The deadline for application: 31 March, 2013. As HZB endeavors to increase the number of women working in the scientific field, women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants will be given preference to others of equal qualification. Applicants should send a letter of application, a detailed CV, copies of diploma and PhD certificates, a list of publications and the contact details of two academic referees to Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Abt. Personal und Soziales, Hahn- Meitner-Platz 1, D-14109 Berlin, Germany, (E-Mail: bewerbung@helmholtz-berlin.de) quoting reference no. G 2013/6. -- Karen Diederichsen Abt.
