The OPAL Reactor provides neutrons to a suite of 15 neutron-scattering instruments, within the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS), the leading centre for neutron scattering in the Southern Hemisphere.

We are seeking a suitably qualified scientist to step into an ongoing Instrument Scientist position responsible for Pelican Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer. For this role we are particularly interested in applicants with experience in inelastic neutron scattering.

An Instrument Scientist operates, maintains, and improves a neutron-scattering instrument or other capabilities at the OPAL research reactor for the benefit of the user community. Reporting to the Inelastic Neutron Scattering Group Manager, you will have experience undertaking experiments, supporting users, and be able to analyse neutron scattering data. You will also be required to undertake scientific research as well contribute to the technical development of ACNS’s neutron scattering capabilities.
