Institution : ALBA 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.
Tasks : The 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).
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.
This may also include the initiation of new projects if appropriate.
Requirements : The requirements for participation must be met on the date of the deadline for the submission of applications and will be accredited by means of the CV attached to it, without prejudice to the power of the selection body to require the contribution of the originals of the certifications accrediting the qualifications, training and work experience invoked in the CV.
Applications that do not present the aforementioned or required documentation during the selection procedure will not be accepted.
The applicant must have a doctorate degree in Chemistry, Physics, Material Science, or related disciplines.
Work experience at a synchrotron light source facility of at least 2 years with X-ray diffraction related techniques (including PhD work).
Everyone who meets the requirements will be admitted for the selective process.
This position is reserved for those candidates having the legal status of person with disabilities, with a degree of disability equal or greater than 33%.
In case of one or more admitted applicants with this status of disability, these candidates will be evaluated at first.
In the event that no candidate with the status of disability is finally selected for the position.
