Division Experiments
Institution ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center. 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 and the Catalan Government. The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter across various fields.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary environment with an atmosphere of diversity, inclusion, and respect. One of our goals is to reach gender parity within the Consortium's divisions and offices.
We are offering a Post Doctoral research position at the CIRCE-PEEM experimental station, focusing on spin-orbit effects in the context of spintronics. We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist candidate holding a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, or scientific technology, with an experimental background in condensed matter physics, material science, or nanotechnology.
Tasks The successful candidate will perform research in spintronics and spin-orbitronics, focused at the PEEM instrument. Within the Eclip-SE project, the candidate will:
Develop their own research program and profile.Contribute to the beamline operation and maintenance.Develop ideas into experiments that fit into the project.Pursue funding opportunities for PostDoc grants under guidance.Prepare and perform experiments at the PEEM microscope.Work on data analysis and dissemination in publications and conferences.Prepare beamtime proposals and experimental reports.Interact with researchers at other institutes and at ALBA. Requirements The candidate should:
Hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, or similar disciplines.This position is reserved for candidates with a legal status of person with disabilities, with a degree of disability equal or greater than 33%.
Selection Process Development The selection will be carried out through a competition-opposition system. An analysis of the curriculum will be conducted, assessing previous experience, degree, training, and other relevant professional information.
The assessment of the CV will be scored up to 40 points, considering:
Experience in using a LEEM-PEEM microscope.Experience in soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy.Research experience in magnetism, spintronics, multiferroics, and orbital effects.Practical experience with relevant techniques in sample preparation and characterization.Best-rated candidates will be invited to an interview, where technical competence, knowledge, skills, and professional experience will be assessed.
Other information Temporary contract linked to the funded research project Eclip-SE-MEX, MICIN PID2021-122980OB-C54.
