Description du poste

PhD Student on ID20 RIXS Interferometry at K Edges of Transition Metal Ligands

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France. It is an X‑ray light source for Europe, supported by 19/20 countries, and an equal‑opportunity employer. Its 700 staff members use the accelerator to generate intense X‑ray beams for research in biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.

Under the collaboration between ESRF, the University of Cologne, and Politecnico Milano, you will develop and use RIXS interferometry at ligand K‑edges to investigate new 3d‑ and 4d‑Mott and Cluster Mott insulators. The project represents a significant step toward using RIXS interferometry for studying correlated many‑body systems.

• Degree allowing enrollment for a PhD (e.g. MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea or equivalent) in physics
• Background in solid‑state physics highly recommended
• Aptitudes in programming (Python) are a plus
• Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)

You shall be enrolled in the University of Cologne as a condition of your hiring.

Contract: two years renewable for one year.

What we offer

• Join an innovative international research institute with a workforce from 38 different countries
• Collaborate with global experts to advance science and address societal challenges
• Live in a vibrant city in the heart of the Alps, Europe's Green Capital 2022
• A workplace designed to support quality of life
• Competitive compensation and allowances, including financial support for relocation to Grenoble
