The Science division is divided into a number of supporting groups and three scientifically oriented groups, Imaging, Diffraction and Scattering, and Spectroscopy. These groups are further divided into teams based on beamline or scientific technique. Each team has the task to develop and support the instrumentation and scientific activity at the different beamlines. The aim is to maintain and develop state of the art equipment at stable operation.
We are looking for a Research Engineer / Instrument Scientist to work as a part of the ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) team with primary location at the SPECIES beamline, a beamline which offers end stations for APXPS and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. The APXPS branch of SPECIES began user operations in autumn 2019 and currently offers a variety of sample environments for performing APXPS experiments e.g. within the catalysis and atomic layer deposition domains. The APXPS staff at SPECIES forms the APXPS teams of MAX IV together with the staff at the HIPPIE beamline. Currently, the time has nine members, who work together on the support and development of the APXPS programme at MAX IV. Both beamlines provide a wide range of sample environments for in situ and operando XPS measurements – catalysis, electrochemistry, thin film growth, solid-liquid interfaces, liquid jets, and sulphur chemistry.
Tasks
The work tasks of the research engineer include, but are not limited to, the following:
The person will be encouraged to take part in scientific projects run at both SPECIES or HIPPIE beamlines by either APXPS team or users.
Qualifications
The successful candidate must
The successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate the ability work in a team, good communication skills and good command of the English.
