Context The Diffraction Group at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, in collaboration with the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), has an immediate opening for a two-year postdoctoral position funded through the Spanish Scientific Member agreement. The project focuses on emergent phenomena in transition metal oxides exhibiting unconventional frustrated magnetic and quantum phases. The materials under study include non-collinear magnets, such as complex ferrites with chiral states of remarkable stability, and frustrated negative charge-transfer oxides with hidden symmetries. The aim is to advance the design, understanding, and control of emergent states in quantum materials with non-collinear magnetism and symmetry-protected properties of interest for magnetoelectric and spin-lattice-driven applications. The research relies primarily on neutron techniques, with emphasis on single-crystal neutron diffraction and the exploitation of polarized neutrons and polarization analysis. Complementary techniques based on resonant X-ray scattering (RMXS/RIXS) are also of interest. Based at ILL, the position offers the opportunity to interact with a diverse community of scientists across European neutron, synchrotron, and FEL sources, and to carry out research stays of varying duration in the two partner laboratories in Barcelona (ICMAB) and Madrid (UCM). It is an interdisciplinary role bridging chemistry, solid state physics, and advanced characterization using quantum beams. Your tasks The successful applicant will be expected to: . Contribute to the synthesis, preparation, and advanced characterization of functional materials, with a primary focus on neutron scattering (single-crystal and powder diffraction), complemented by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy when relevant. . Design, prepare, and submit competitive beamtime proposals at large-scale facilities, primarily neutron sources, while also considering complementary experiments at synchrotron and other scattering facilities. . Actively collaborate with partner institutions, including Spanish national laboratories and academic partners, contributing to joint experimental campaigns, data analysis, and scientific discussions. . Perform data reduction, analysis, and interpretation using state-of-the-art software tools, ensuring high- quality and reproducible results. . Disseminate research outcomes through high-impact publications and presentations at national and international conferences, workshops, and meetings. . Travel to Spanish national laboratories and other European neutron and synchrotron sources to complement the work conducted in Grenoble. Your profile . PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related field. . Strong track record in the fields of magnetism and electronic properties. . Experience in neutron and synchrotron diffraction, preferably on single crystals. . Expertise in state-of-the-art materials synthesis and single-crystal growth techniques would be an asset. . Experience in interdisciplinary research collaboration would be an asset.
