Description du poste

Context & Job description

Beamline ID16B is dedicated to hard X-ray nano-analysis, combining X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 3D / 4D X-ray nano-imaging (nano-CT) techniques. The instrument enables world-leading research across a wide range of scientific disciplines from earth and environmental science to life science and materials science. ID16B is exploiting a wide energy range from 6 to 33 keV while routinely offering beamsizes down to 50 nm. It can accommodate sample environments (furnace, cryostat, electrochemical cells…) providing unique in situ nano-analysis capabilities.

You will pursue your own in-house research program using the 3D nano-imaging capabilities available at the beamline (ex-situ and in-situ), bring in your own field of expertise and collaborate with the ID16B team and its collaborators specifically. You will develop innovative projects using X-ray computed nano-tomography techniques.

You will also support international research in areas with a very large scientific and social impact such as bio-medicine, sustainable materials, energy related devices, geosciences and / or nanotechnology. These disciplines seek for non-destructive and / or in situ investigation of the morphology of complex systems.

Expected profile

• PhD in Energy and Materials science, physics, or related discipline obtained less than 3 years ago
• A strong background in imaging analysis is required, a knowledge in DVC is an asset
• Aptitudes in programming (Python) is an asset
• Experience in synchrotron radiation experiments is an advantage
• Team player and ability to interact with multi-disciplinary staff and facility users
• Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)

Working conditions

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

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
• Come and live in a vibrant city , in the heart of the Alps, and Europe's Green Capital 2022
• Enjoy a workplace designed to support your quality of life
• Benefit from our competitive compensation and allowances package , including financial support for your relocation to Grenoble
