- Provide support for external users.
- Supervise junior team members.
- Lead research projects, with the objective to develop new full-field tomographic imaging capability for our user community.
- Actively participate in cross-beamline or facility-wide development projects.
- Develop your skills in beamline instrumentation, control systems, data acquisition pipelines, and/or data reduction and analysis tools.
- Actively participate in research collaborations with academic and industrial partners.
To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications
- PhD degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, or another relevant subject.
- Documented expertise in full-field tomographic imaging, including data analysis.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver tasks on time, in scope, and within budget, as an individual and within a team.
- Good command of written and spoken English
Below are seen as merits
- Demonstrated evidence of method development of full-field tomographic imaging.
- Expertise in the development of data analysis or image reconstruction tools.
- Experience in development/commissioning of sample environments.
- Skills in programming.
- Previous work experience at a large scale research facility.
- Published research on materials, or demonstrated experience of working with materials, relevant for ForMAX.
As a person you are able to work independently and to take initiative. You should have strong social and communication skills. The ability to work within a team successfully is key in this role.
What we offer
When you join our MAX IV team, you step into a world of front edge science. We make the invisible visible by supporting scientist from all over the world, generating scientific results for the benefit of society.
