.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 position offers a unique opportunity for professional development by working with a team of ALBA experts, external collaborators and users to fully develop the capabilities of the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) instruments, in particular to the CLAESS, NOTOS and/or BOREAS beamlines, in close concert with the Industrial Liaison Office of ALBA which fosters innovation and competitiveness through the proprietary use of the advanced synchrotron techniques by the industry on a collaborative, multicultural, international and stimulating work environment. We seek a highly motivated individual to deal with the intensive industrial and innovation program to boost the collaboration of ALBA with industry by supporting and exploiting the XAS technique and for taking advantage of the technology transfer opportunities. Typical application areas are batteries, semiconductors and catalysis. The functions of the successful candidate will be as follows: To provide support to the users of different XAS instruments, in particular the industry users. To provide support to the scientific and industrial projects involving the XAS techniques. To provide full support for experiments preparation, data collection, analysis, interpretation and the generation of meaningful reports to the industry clients
