The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. It is a brand new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.

The Detector Group at ESS within the Neutron Scattering Systems (NSS) Division is looking for an Entry Level Detector Scientist. This is an opportunity to learn and grow while also contributing to the development of an iconic facility. We are collaborating with world-class partners to accomplish something truly unique: to contribute to becoming a leading research facility.

About the team

The tasks and responsibilities of the Detector group include but are not limited to:

• In-house development and construction of detector systems
• Integration of commercial detector systems from ESS in-kind partners
• Coordination of common detector systems across the ESS instrument suite
• Support the instrument construction teams during installation, commissioning, and operation

About the role

As an Entry Level Detector Scientist you will:

• Work closely with the team responsible for the testing, commissioning and integration of the detector systems delivered by the external collaborators for the large suite of neutron instruments to be deployed at ESS
• Lead the setting up of the experimental area and testing of these detectors at the Source Facility at Lund University
• Contribute to the development of routines and procedures for the Site Acceptance Tests for the new detector systems delivered by the external collaborators
• Contribute to the implementation of the neutron detectors in the experimental infrastructure and slow control framework in close coordination with other groups at ESS

About you

We believe you have experience in some of the following areas:

• PhD in nuclear physics
• Design, construction, and evaluation of scintillator-based and/or gaseous neutron detectors
• Strong interest in hardware and hands-on work in a laboratory. Practical experience for technical and mechanical jobs will be rated as highly as your academic qualifications
• Data acquisition systems and readout electronics as well as familiarity with data processing and analysis procedures for neutron physics
• Data analysis and programming, preferably using Python and C/C++
• Familiarity with toolkits such as GEANT4 and ROOT is highly desirable
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to be able to interact effectively with a diverse group of scientists, engineers, and technical staff
• Excellent oral and written English skills are a prerequisite; knowledge of other European languages would be an advantage

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills and who likes to collaborate with different people.

What ESS will offer

• an opportunity to contribute to the future of neutron science
• a workplace full of creative individuals and people from all over the world
• a challenging, exciting, and fast-paced work environment
• market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities, and achievements
• benefits including 30 days of annual leave as well as more than 10 days of public holidays and company days off or days with limited working hours, flexible working arrangements, and a focus on work-life balance
• where applicable, relocation support and allowances may be available
