The ESRF is a multinational research institute, situated in Grenoble, 
France and financed by 17 countries mostly European. It operates a powerful 
synchrotron X-ray source with some 30 beamlines (instruments) covering a 
wide range of scientific research in fields such as biology and medicine, 
chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, materials and surface science, 
and physics. Research at the ESRF is carried out by several thousand 
external users each year from universities, public research laboratories 
and industry, and by the ESRF's own scientists. The ESRF employs about 
560staff and is organized as a French société civile. The working language 
of the ESRF is English.

The Experiments Division designs, constructs and runs the ESRF experimental 
stations (= beamlines). Within this division the Materials Science  group 
is now seeking to recruit a:

for the powder diffraction beamline ID31

THE FUNCTION:
You will participate in the operation and development of this 
high-resolution powder diffraction beamline. You will be expected to 
develop your own scientific program using the powder diffraction beamline, 
or other instruments at the ESRF, and/or participate in existing projects.
As a local contact, you will assist visiting scientists to conduct their 
experiments.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:
You should hold a doctorate in chemistry, physics, or other appropriate 
science. Experience with solving crystal structures by powder diffraction 
or other crystallographic techniques, synchrotron radiation instrumentation
