The candidate should demonstrate experience in several of following areas:

  • Computer control, automation of experiments, programming and data analysis
  • Write and publish articles in peer reviewed journals/digests that highlight findings from research and experimental activities ensuring consistency with the highest standards of academic publication
  • Defining and exploring research directions especially within the low energy photoelectron microscopy or in related techniques
  • Managing instrumentation projects.
  • Experience in development and operation in LEEM is a merit.

The work requires very good communication and interpersonal skills, a solid command of English, both oral and written.

This is a two year temporary position.
