Postdoctoral fellow (m/f) for the Time-Resolved Ultrasmall-Angle Scattering Beamline ID02

You will be actively involved in in-house research activities and the operation of the beamline, providing support to external users as local contact, and develop your own research project in the broad area of soft matter or biophysical sciences.

Your primary missions as a postdoc will be to perform in-house research and provide support to external users in the form of local contact. Together with other beamline staff, you will be required to contribute to the maintenance and development of new sample environments and data analysis methods.

ID02 is a high-resolution time-resolved SAXS/WAXS/USAXS instrument featuring a 34 m long detector tube combined with state-of-the-art detectors. In addition, XPCS can be performed in the SAXS/USAXS configuration. The beamline is primarily dedicated to research on soft materials and biological specimens. The beamline primarily focuses on soft matter science and biophysics related research. In-house research topics include: the dynamics of spontaneous self-assembly processes in amphiphilic systems, the emergence of complexity in active matter, and the interplay between microstructure and rheology in complex fluids. These research programmes integrate time-resolved investigations and techniques such as variety of techniques such as rapid mixing, rheology, and advanced data analysis.
