Sweden: POSTDOCTOR IN PHYSICS

Deadline: 14 Jan. 2013


Type of employment: Limit of tenure, 2 years 
Extent: 100 % 
Location: MAX IV-Laboratory, Lund 
First day of employment: As agreed 
Official Records Number: PEPA 2012/773
MAX IV Laboratory is expanding rapidly and is currently building the new MAX IV facility, the largest investment in research infrastructure in Lund. We are looking for a Postdoc that can strengthen our team.

900 users from Sweden and Europe are coming to the MAX IV Laboratory to do research experiments in areas such as materials science, structural biology and nanotechnology. 140 people are currently employed at the Laboratory. MAX IV will be the next generation synchrotron radiation and will replace the existing laboratory, which today consists of the storage ring MAX I, II and III.

The postdoc will primarily work on beamlines I4 and the solid state branch line of beamline I3. Beamline I4 is dedicated to angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and the solid state branchline of I3 is dedicated to spin and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. 

Beamline I4 is a spherical grating monochromator beamline sourced by a planar undulator on the MAX III storage ring with energy range from 14 - 200eV. Beamline I3 is a normal incidence monochromator beamline sourced by an elliptically polarized undulator on MAX III storage ring with energy range 5-50 eV. Beamline I3 consists of a R4000 Scienta analyzer with a spin detector and beamline I4 consists of a Specs 100 mm PHOIBOS analyzer. 

More details of the end station can be found on the website of the respective beamlines at the MAX IV website, https://www.maxlab.lu.se/beamlines/I3 and https://www.maxlab.lu.se/beamlines/I4.

Subject area

Physics

Specific subject description

Job assignments

The main responsibility of the successful candidate is to take part in the general operation of the beamline and its future development. This includes taking part in the beamline/experimental station maintenance and to collaborate with and provide support to the users of the beamline. The successful candidate is also expected to develop a research program where in particular collaboration with users is encouraged.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

The candidate should hold a PhD or an equivalent degree in physics or a related discipline. Doctorate must not be older than 3 years after last day of application.

The qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3-4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
