Scientist at The Nanospectroscopy Beamline
2 settimane fa
Deadline: 03 October 2025
Ref: DB/25/29
**_Background_**
**_Beamline / Project / Activity description_**
The Nanospectroscopy beamline, delivering 25-1000 eV linearly and elliptically polarised photons, operates a dedicated photoemission electron microscopy end-station equipped with a spectroscopic photoemission and low-energy electron microscope (SPELEEM). The SPELEEM offers a wide range of complementary methods, providing structural, chemical, and magnetic sensitivity with a lateral resolution approaching few tens of nanometres. The end-station has recently received a new electron energy analyser and other significant upgrades to meet the most demanding experimental requirements. The beamline transport optics are also being renovated as part of the Elettra 2.0 upgrade.
Research at the beamline focuses on the electronic and magnetic properties of micro
**_Job description_**
As beamline scientist, she/he will be expected to propose and develop an independent research programme that exploits and expands the beamline’s capabilities. In this context, she/he may submit proposals to relevant funding agencies and participate actively in collaborative projects, leveraging a broad professional network to ensure the scientific success of the beamline and to plan future upgrades beyond Elettra 2.0.
A key responsibility will be to help expanding and strengthening the user community, in part through active scouting, promoting the realization of users’ research, assisting in proposal submission, experiment execution, and data analysis, while providing consistently high-quality support.
The experimental work will focus on investigating the electronic, magnetic, and chemical properties of a wide range of complex materials, particularly magnetic thin films, 2D systems, and molecular interfaces, addressing key topics in surface science, surface chemistry, and nanoscience. Materials will be grown in situ by PVD/CVD methods and subsequently characterized using X-ray photoemission electron spectromicroscopy, low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction.
**_Qualifications_**
Proven experience in the following techniques is required, supported by a publication record commensurate with career advancement:
- X-ray absorption spectroscopy
- Photoemission electron microscopy and/or low-energy electron microscopy
- Spin
- and/or angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
A strong track record in at least one of the following research fields is required:
- Chemical, electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials
- Chemical, electronic and magnetic properties of molecular interfaces
The following qualifications will be considered advantageous:
- Previous experience at synchrotron/FEL facilities, including assistance to users.
- Demonstrated ability in software development (e.g., instrument interfacing)
