Publicerad 2024-03-29

Context & Job description

You will play a major role in the operation and further development of the ID03 beamline as well as in the activities of the group. The beamline’s mission is dark field X-ray microscopy, a newly developed technique that uses hard X-rays for full-field imaging of phase, orientation and strain of crystalline volumes embedded with polycrystalline samples.

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, your mission is the following:

  • Develop your own research programme exploiting ID03’s unique technical possibilities in close collaboration with the beamline team
  • Support users through the role of local contact, thus gaining opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field
  • Contribute to the continuous technical upgrade and development of the instrument together with the Beamline Scientists and Post-Docs, so as to meet the high expectations of the user community
  • Expected profile

  • PhD in physics or materials research, obtained less than 3 years ago, with a strong interest in materials research, physics, or another closely related field
  • Experience in X-ray diffraction, X-ray imaging or other experimental X-ray techniques or complementary methods, such as neutron or electron imaging
  • Interest in instrumental (hardware and software) development as well as in applications of synchrotron microscopy
  • A background in programming or large data handling is an asset
  • Previous experience on a synchrotron facility is an asset
  • Ability to interact with multi-disciplinary staff and facility users
  • Good time management skills and ability to prioritize
  • Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)
  • Working conditions

    Contract of 18 months, renewable for a further 6 or 18-month period.
