Serving for the high impact synchrotron radiation applications, the 3rd generation source PETRA III is available since 2009 as one of the most brilliant hard X-ray sources worldwide. Beamline P02.2 is dedicated to extreme conditions research and in particular is focused on studies of polycrystalline, amorphous and single crystal materials by means of X-ray diffraction at elevated pressures and temperatures laser or resistive heated Diamond Anvil Cells (DACs). In order to strengthen the beamline operation we seek a beamline scientist with the following expertise and for the duties specified.

About your role:

• User support of the Laser Heating Experiment
• Promotion and support of scientific projects related to laser heating experiment at the Extreme Conditions Beamline

About you:

• PhD in physics, chemistry, mineralogy or equivalent qualification is required
• Knowledge of laser heating in the DAC with Yb-fiber lasers is useful
• Experience in powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction and the structural refinement is required
• Active scientific project in the area of laser heating powder diffraction and associated crystal structural refinement is desirable
• Excellent research and communication skills (English)
• Experience in user support at synchrotron facilities is useful but not a requirement
