Barcelona Institute Of Science And Technology (Bist)28 ago | Barcelona Institute Of Science And Technology (Bist) | BarcelonaInstitutionALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions.
Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.
Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats).The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues.
Located close to Barcelona in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.
Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics.
Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.TasksThe Experiments Division of the ALBA synchrotron light source is seeking a beamline scientist expert in surface diffraction/scattering with knowledge in photoelectron spectroscopy for the new, under construction, Surface Spectroscopy and Structure at 1 bar (3Sbar) beamline.
This beamline will be unique worldwide allowing unprecedented surface and interfaces combining X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (and XANES) with X-ray diffraction at elevated partial pressures (several bar range).Your responsibilities will include:Develop your own scientific program in diffraction in combination with X-ray spectroscopy (ideally HAXPES or/and XANES related techniques), aligned with the scientific program of the beamline and, in the larger context, of the Chemical and Material science section.Develop innovative hardware and software tools for the 3Sbar beamline, together with the rest of the scientific ALBA staff and the corresponding engineers and technicians.Provide support to design, construct and install 3Sbar beamline in collaboration with the group and support staff.Provide support to the scientific users of the 3Sbar preparing the beamline as a Local Contact (as soon as it is operational).Participate in the beamline research program of the 3Sbar group, national and European projects and collaborations.#J-18808-Ljbffr
