Dear Collegue,

Postdoctoral position in the Ion-Beam Physics Department of RMKI The KFKI 
Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics (RMKI) of the 
Hungarian Academic of Science does fundamental research in particle and 
nuclear physics from both an experimental and a theoretical perspective.

We invite application for a

                            Postdoctoral position
                       in the Ion beam physics department

focusing on the development and application of keV to MeV ion beam 
techniques for the characterization and modification of materials and/or 
the study of fundamental physical processes.

Formal requirements for this position are a PhD in experimental physics 
and experience with ion implantation and ion beam analysis techniques 
(RBS, ERDA, NRA and channeling).

The main activities of the Ion-Beam Physics Department are application of 
ion-beam techniques for materials science, investigation of ion-solid 
interaction and research in nuclear solid-state physics. The main 
facilities of the department are the 5-MV Van de Graaff accelerator and 
the 450-kV heavy-ion implanter. These accelerator facilities provide 
research services related to ion-beam physics in the field of biology, 
environmental and materials science, archeology and cultural heritage 
research, too. The accelerator complex is a member of Hungarian Ion-beam 
Physics Platform (HIPP). The department (website: 
http://mffo.rmki.kfki.hu/ion) has excellent access to preparation and 
characterization instruments of the research institutes hosted at the KFKI 
campus.

Salary and benefits are according to the Hungarian public service pay 
scale. The contract is initially limited to 3 years with the possibility 
of an extension. The Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics 
is an equal-opportunity employer.

Further information can be obtained from Endre Kótai (kotai AT rmki.kfki.hu) 
or Edit Szilágyi (szilagyi AT rmki.kfki.hu).
