For our location in Hamburg we are seeking:
Scientist X-ray Beamline P64
Limited: 3 years | Starting date: earliest possible | ID: FSMA055/2024 | Deadline: 14.01.2025 | Full-time/Part-time
DESY, with more than 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.
For high-end synchrotron radiation applications, the 3rd generation source PETRA III is one of the most brilliant X-ray sources. The 'Advanced X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy' beamline P64 is dedicated to 'photon-hungry' X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy techniques, including their extension to time-resolved pump-probe measurements. These advanced methods provide crucial insights into the local atomic and electronic structures of materials under in-situ and operando conditions. We are seeking a talented and motivated scientist to join our team. The successful candidate will: utilize the cutting-edge techniques available at beamline P64 for their own innovative research projects, and support and collaborate with the P64 user community to perform state-of-the-art experiments.
- Conduct independent research using X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy
- Assist external users in designing and conducting experiments
- Contribute to the development and improvement of beamline capabilities
- Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field
- Profound knowledge and expertise in X-ray spectroscopy techniques (e.g., XAS, XES, RXES, transient-XAS, transientXES)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Practical knowledge of programming and scripting languages
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
- Proficiency in English
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work-life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to 50%).
