Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas återkommande som ett av världens 100 främsta lärosäten. Här finns 41 000 studenter och 7 500 medarbetare i Lund, Helsingborg och Malmö. Vi förenas i vår strävan att förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor.

MAX IV-laboratoriet har varit framgångsrikt i drygt 30 år och driver idag MAX IV, den nya synkrotronljusanläggningen i Lund.
Fullt utbyggt kommer den att ta emot mer än 2 000 forskare årligen från Sverige och resten av världen. De forskar inom bland annat materialvetenskap, strukturbiologi, kemi och nanoteknologi. 200 personer är idag anställda vid MAX IV-laboratoriet.
MAX IV, Sveriges största och mest ambitiösa satsning på forskningsinfrastruktur invigdes i juni 2016 och är världens ljusstarkaste synkrotronljusanläggning.
MAX IV-laboratoriet är en nationell forskningsanläggning med Lunds universitet som värd.



ForMAX - a research infrastructure platform and a beamline

The forest is a valuable, renewable resource that could provide society with advanced wood based materials helping to lower society's dependence on fossil raw materials and thereby reduce the climatic- and environmental impact.

The ForMAX beamline is part of an effort to develop a world leading research infrastructure platform supporting the investigation of novel materials at MAX IV and train a new generation of scientist that will exploit this platform in their research.

The ForMAX beamline will be designed to support the techniques that are most appropriate to address research questions within the field of wood based materials such as SAXS, WAXS and x-ray imaging. They will be used to study the structure and properties of nano-cellulose, wood fiber structures, fiber joints and bio-composites, as well as to study industrial processes such as wood dissolving and pulping. The project includes the development of tailor-made experimental environments that will enable unique experiments for materials characterization and to follow complex processes in real time.

The ForMAX platform will also include other beamlines at MAX IV that after adaption can be of use to support research within bio-based materials. The ForMAX beamline and platform is a close collaboration between academic research communities and the Swedish forestry industry. The beamline is expected to come into operation in 2020.

We are now looking for an experienced individual that can help us deliver the ForMAX beamline.
