.ALBA is a synchrotron light source facility, devoted to research on a variety of fields, like bioscience, chemistry, material science, electronics... It is a Spanish public institution, co-financed by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion and the Catalan Conselleria d'Empresa i Coneixement. ALBA users come from universities, research institutes and industry. Beyond science, ALBA is a hub for technological developments, training and innovation.ALBA is growing in terms of new beamlines and related services, and we are searching for motivated people to join us and contribute to the strength of our facility and its future.ALBA is situated near Barcelona, a welcoming, plural and diverse city, a city to live and share.If you want to receive our future job offers by emailALBA 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.For more information, you can take a look on our history watching this video:https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?v=gHMqiH4qBAoTasksThe Controls and Data Acquisition Section is staffed by 19 engineers. The section is responsible of design, develop, operate and support the Control Systems of the Accelerators and Beamlines and the Data Acquisition systems required for the experiments. In addition, the section is also taking charge for the Protection Systems for Personnel and Equipment
