The European Spallation Source, ESS, a partnership of European countries, is hiring motivated and inspired people to design, construct and operate the world's most powerful neutron source. We seek ambitious, talented people in different fields who are excited about playing a part in the future of science in Europe.

Come and change the world with us!

The Nuclear Physics Institute (NPI), Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS), Czech Republic is contributing to the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, by co-leading the construction of the neutron scattering instrument BEER in collaboration with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geestacht (HZG), Germany. In relation to this project the ESS offers a position as Instrument Lead Engineer.
The mission is to design, construct and bring into operation the neutron instrument BEER at ESS.
