SalaryThe 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.
The main scientific areas covered by ID15A are materials chemistry, in particular battery science, catalysis, piezoelectric materials, and the study of glasses and disordered systems.
High-speed multidimensional X-ray diffraction and total scattering are the core techniques of ID15A. ID15A is optimized for operando and in-situ experiments using high-energy X-rays (40 - 100 keV).
You will be strongly involved in the instrumental developments and maintenance of beamline ID15A. You will participate in ongoing in-house research programmes, the operation of the beamline, and provide support to external users as local contact.
The successful candidate will play a major role in the running and further development of the Materials Chemistry beamline. User support will be a key activity which will provide much opportunity for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field. Beamtime will be set aside for in-house research and the BeamLine Operation Manager will be given the opportunity to participate in the beamlines research programme in close collaboration with the beamline team.
