Beamline Scientist NanoMAX (temporary)

Big Science Sweden; Lunds kommun; On-site; SEK 357,000 - 580,000; Full time

Job summary

A research institute in Sweden is seeking a temporary researcher to join the NanoMAX team, focusing on the operation of a hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline. The role involves ensuring optimal beamline performance, running the end-stations for user experiments, and allowing the researcher to pursue independent projects. Candidates should have a background in coherent scanning probe-based x-ray techniques. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of x-ray imaging and scattering experiments.

Qualifications

• Background in coherent scanning probe-based x-ray techniques required.
• Experience operating beamline equipment and end-stations.
• Ability to collaborate in a cross-disciplinary team.

Responsibilities

• Ensure optimal operation of the beamline and its end-stations.
• Take an active role in running the beamline.
• Pursue your own project at the beamline.

Skills

Coherent scanning probe-based x-ray

Job description

Your team

NanoMAX is currently the only hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline at MAX IV. It is primarily designed for imaging and scattering experiments that require a focused coherent beam to achieve ultimate resolution, such as ptychography and coherent diffraction imaging. Secondly, the nanofocused beam also provides prime spatial resolution for scanning diffraction and fluorescence mapping experiments.

Your role

We are now looking for a temporary researcher with a background in (coherent) scanning probe-based x-ray techniques to join the NanoMAX team. Together you will ensure optimal operation of the beamline and its two end-stations ‘Diffraction’ and ‘Imaging’ for users and your own experiments. You will take an active role in running the beamline alongside the team, as well as have a chance to pursue your own project at the beamline.
