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.Open positionsTechnician in the Beamline Support Group - Experiments - 09/12/2024Floor Coordinator - Experiments - 02/12/2024Administrative Technician in the User Office - Experiments - 02/12/2024PostDoc in MSPD group - Experiments - 20/01/2025Interface X-RAY-TEM Group Head - Experiments - 05/12/2024Scientist TEM - Experiments - 05/12/2024Project Engineer - Engineering - 30/11/2024Mechanical Engineers - Engineering - 30/11/2024PostDoctoral researcher position at the FaXToR beamline - Experiments - 01/12/2024Technician in the Beamline Support GroupReference: 2023-FIX-38Deadline: 09/12/2024Division: ExperimentsInstitutionALBA 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. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium's different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineering, and technical job positions.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.ResponsibilitiesThe successful candidate will contribute to the maintenance, operation, and development of ALBA beamline scientific instrumentation, with a particular focus on complex sample environments in soft X-ray beamlines under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Responsibilities include:Developing and assembling high-precision sample holders for experiments, incorporating temperature control, and magnetic and electric fields.Preparing experimental setups under UHV, ensuring optimal alignment and calibration of instrumentation to meet specific research requirements.Overseeing the beamline's vacuum systems, including regular maintenance, troubleshooting, and ensuring compliance with UHV standards to support high-quality data acquisition.Assisting with a variety of tasks and projects within the Beamline Support Section.RequirementsThe 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.At least 3 years of hands-on experience as a technician in the maintenance, operation, or development of scientific instrumentation, particularly involving high vacuum (HV) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) technologies.Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential for effective communication within an international environment.Selection Process DevelopmentThe selection will be carried out through the competition-opposition system. The best rated candidates will be invited to an interview where the technical competence, knowledge, skills and professional experience linked to the position will be assessed.Other informationPermanent contract. This selection process is the result of the authorization of a specific replacement rate for CELLS in order to reduce the temporariness rate and to fill the positions on a permanent basis.At CELLS we are committed to promote gender balance in our company. To avoid unconscious bias during the first phase of the selection process, we are requiring from you a blind CV.
