Context & Job description

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is looking for a motivated scientist to join ID13, a state-of-the-art beamline dedicated to micro-/nano-beam scanning diffraction/scattering experiments, often combined with X-ray fluorescence analysis.

The beamline offers a variety of specific sample environments for in-situ/in-vivo/operando experiments, optionally exploiting the beam’s coherence. Our current instrumental interests also include the area of sub-ms time-resolved and three-dimensional methods such as micro-/nano-diffraction tomography. The main scientific fields covered are soft matter/biology, sustainable energy and functional materials, cultural heritage.

Currently the beamline is at the verge of the conceptual design phase of a major beamline refurbishment to be started, offering the exciting and unique opportunity to participate in a phase of ...
