Organisation/Company: ELETTRA - SINCROTRONE TRIESTE S.C.P.A.
Department: HR
Research Field: Physics » Applied physics
Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)
Positions: Postdoc Positions
Country: Italy
Application Deadline: 16 Jan 2025 - 23:00 (Europe/Rome)
Type of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Full-time
Hours Per Week: 40
Offer Starting Date: 3 Mar 2025
Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme
Reference Number: DA/24/61
Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer DescriptionThe TwinMic beamline provides photons in the 400-2200 eV energy range and its end-station can be used to perform high-resolution X-ray microscopy (STXM, TXM, and ptychography) coupled with low-energy X-ray Fluorescence (LEXRF) and micro-XANES spectroscopies. At TwinMic, characterization of various materials at the sub-micron scale can be performed, covering research fields such as novel materials, nanotoxicology, food science, neuroscience, and clinical medicine.
Within the Elettra 2.0 program, important upgrades of the TwinMic beamline are foreseen, which concern both the beamline photon energy range as well as the experimental station to offer additional imaging schemes and increase the lateral and spectral resolution of the existing ones.
The successful candidate will be involved in the operation, maintenance, and upgrade of the TwinMic beamline and experimental station to meet the requirements of a broad user community. He/she will collaborate with the TwinMic beamline staff in the ongoing in-house scientific projects and technological developments, including the introduction of new imaging methods, such as ptychography, and the design of a new photon transfer system and a new end-station in view of Elettra 2.0. Additionally, she/he will contribute to providing high-quality support to external users, gaining opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field before the dark period starting in July 2025, when the removal of Elettra and the installation of Elettra 2.0 will occur. User operations of the new Elettra 2.0 facility are expected to start in January 2027.
The following qualifications are expected:
- Degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related disciplines.
- Proven knowledge of complex instrumentation design and development (i.e., synchrotron instrumentation, beamlines, experimental stations, detectors, etc.).
- Proven experience in at least one of the following experimental techniques: (i) X-ray microscopy, (ii) Ptychography, (iii) X-ray Fluorescence.
- Good oral and written communication skills in English.
The following qualifications will be considered as additional assets:
- PhD in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related disciplines.
- Research experience in public organizations or private companies with a job description relevant to the present position.
- Experience with X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
- Experience with procedures and methods for X-ray Fluorescence quantitative analysis.
- Experience with Coherent Diffractive imaging and Phase Retrieval.
- Hands-on experience with vacuum systems or cryo-sample environment.
- Hands-on experience with soft X-ray optics and detector systems.
- Good programming skills in Python for data analysis, use of Linux, and CAD design.
- Working knowledge of Italian.
Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, along with the ability to interact with staff and facility users at all levels and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Languages: ENGLISH Level Good
