Offer Description The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.
Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.
Supported by 21 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.
You will participate in the operation of the beamline, ongoing in-house research programmes, provide support to external users as local contact, and develop your own research programme. Together with the beamline scientists, you will be required to participate in the development of data analysis methods and sample environments specific to the beamline.
The ID10 surface scattering station is dedicated to studies of hard and soft condensed matter surfaces and interfaces using X-ray reflectivity (XRR), grazing incidence WAXS and SAXS, and auxiliary methods like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). The main peculiarity of the station is the double crystal deflector (DCD) for studies on liquid surfaces including buried interfaces. Beamline is equipped with a variety of sample environments including Langmuir trough and a reactor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of 2D materilas on liquid metal catalysts (LMCat).Current in-house research topics include studies of Langmuir films mimicking cell membranes, assemble of nanoparticles at liquid interfaces and catalysis (CVD growth of graphene, hNB, GaN, AlN and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis).
Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry or a closely related subject obtained less than 3 years ago.
Strong aptitude for instrumentation and data analysis
Knowledge of research topics relevant to solid-state physics, surface science, liquid surfaces
Experience in applying scattering techniques (X-ray or neutron scattering) to study soft matter or related systems. Basic knowledge of scattering data modelling is essential.
Data analysis skills and programming using Python or MATLAB
Ability to interact with multi-disciplinary staff and facility users
Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)
Additional Information The salary will be calculated on the basis of relevant qualifications and professional experience.
