Lund University, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
The Division of Synchrotron Radiation Physics (www.sljus.lu.se) is a part of the Department of Physics and has more than 40 employees. A strong focus of the research is experimental studies of electronic, structural and chemical properties of materials using synchrotron radiation, advanced lasers as well as high resolution Scanning Probe microscopy in combination with nanoscale engineering.
Within this project a researcher is to be employed to perform in situ studies of anodization and corrosion of aluminum and steels in an electrochemical cell in relevant conditions using mainly diffraction techniques performed by photon energies higher than 80 keV. A large part of the work will be done in collaboration with the other member groups, and most in situ experiments will be performed at synchrotrons sources such as the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble and at PetraIII in Hamburg.
Work description
The work includes coordination of the research directed towards in situ studies of the anodization and corrosion of aluminum and steels. The work includes preparing and performing in situ combined electrochemical and diffraction experiments using an electrochemical cell suitable for in situ high-energy surface diffraction in collaboration with other member groups of the project. As the experiments generate a significant amount of data, a large amount of data analysis is included in the work. Independent development work of advanced experimental equipment as well as of software is included in the work. The work includes a significant amount of travel, production of research reports and presenting research work at scientific conferences. Some supervision of PhD students is to be expected in the work.
Qualifications
Required

- Documented scientific work and scientific production.
Meriting
- Experience in synchrotron radiation.
- Experience of in in-situ surface diffraction and grazing transmission small angle scattering in harsh environments using photon energies higher than 80 keV.
- Experience in image analysis and programming skills.
