The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) promotes  
and supports research of high quality in the Netherlands, both  
fundamental and applied in all fields. International orientation is a  
key concern. NWO runs a range  of programmes through which it funds  
over 4300 research posts mainly in universities and NWO-institutes.

The DUBBLE project is jointly funded by the Dutch and Flemish  
research councils (NWO/FWO). Its remit is to provide Dutch and  
Flemish researchers access to sophisticated synchrotron radiation  
beamlines bases at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in  
Grenoble. The experiments that are carried out cover a large spectrum  
of research fields. The main techniques available on the DUBBLE  
beamlines are Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and X-ray  
Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS).

At present we are recruiting a


Beam line scientist


whose main duties will be to assist in the operation of the  
experimental stations and help external users with data collection  
and data analysis. Also new developments regarding data collection  
and instrumentation will be part of the duties. It will be possible  
to conduct own research either independently or in collaboration with  
one of the participating Dutch or Flemish university groups.
This is a full time position and the candidate will be based in  
Grenoble (France).


Requirements
-  Affinity with instrumentation
-  PhD-level or equivalent (physics, chemistry)
-  A good command of English is required
-  Experience with SAXS experiments is not required but would be an  
asset.


Salary and conditions
An initial contract of 2 years will be offered to the candidate. This

The appointment will be with the Netherlands Organisation for  
Scientific Research.
