Beamline scientist at the inelastic X-ray scattering beamline ID20

The ESRF beamline ID20 is dedicated to hard X-ray resonant and non-resonant inelastic scattering spectroscopy.  We study the electronic and magnetic excitations as well as the local coordination in systems that are relevant in the fields of physics and the applied sciences (materials science, coordination chemistry, (bio)catalysis and electro-chemistry, earth and environmental sciences) and are furthermore interested in fundamental aspects of spectroscopy with hard X-rays.

The beamline hosts unique instrumentation for advanced inelastic X-ray scattering and thus provides state-of-the-art research opportunities. For further information about the instrument, please consult http://www.esrf.fr/id20.

You will be encouraged and supported to develop your own research, which should exploit the exceptional beamline capabilities. Your research will concern the study of elementary electronic and/or magnetic excitations of condensed matter and local electronic and atomic structure. The exact topic of your research will be planned together with your supervisor taking into account your interests and previous experience. You will initiate and participate in collaborative research programs with universities and research centers.
