Här finns 42 000 studenter och drygt 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 just nu färdigställs MAX IV, den nya synkrotronljusanläggningen i Lund.
Mer än 1000 forskare från Sverige och resten av världen kommer årligen till MAX IV-laboratoriet för att använda röntgenstrålningen producerad i vår elektronaccelerator. De forskar inom bland annat materialvetenskap, strukturbiologi, kemi och nanoteknologi. 190 personer är idag anställda vid MAX IV-laboratoriet. MAX IV, Sveriges största och mest ambitiösa satsning på forskningsinfrastruktur, blir världens ljusstarkaste synkrotronljusanläggning. Den invigs i juni 2016 och kommer att ersätta det existerande laboratoriet, som idag består av lagringsringarna MAX I, II och III. MAX IV-laboratoriet är en nationell forskningsanläggning med Lunds universitet som värd.

We will
NanoMAX - the hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline of MAX IV fully exploits MAX IV's exceptional low emittance, high brilliance and coherence properties of the X-ray source to produce tightly focused and coherent beams.
The beamline will feature two experimental stations, one providing beam down to 10 nm size in vacuum environment, the other providing high flux nanobeams of ~ 100 nm size, compatible with flexible sample environment. The NanoMAX beamline is currently under design and early stages of construction. The installation and commissioning of the beamline will take place during 2016. The beamline is expected to get first users late 2016.
The beamline will enable nm- resolution imaging applications in diverse fields ranging from nano-science to environmental science and life-science, exploiting fluorescence, absorption and (coherent) scattering contrasts. Therefore, the design of the experimental station has to comply with stringent requests for the overall mechanical stability, as well as for the precision and resolution of the positioning devices.
In order to develop and establish internal expertise in nanopositioning at NanoMAX and more generally at MAX IV, we are now seeking to hire a research engineer with a background and interest in X-ray synchrotron radiation based techniques and instrumentation.
Tasks:
• Contribute to the design, the purchase and the installation of the two endstations in collaboration with the staff at the beamline, and within the established organization for beamline buildup at MAX IV Laboratory. This includes tasks such as mechanical design, electrical design, specification work for procurement, software development or specification
• Participate in the commissioning of the beamline and its endstations
• Develop strategies for diagnostics and control of the set-up's stability and precision, with the support of the alignment group at MAX IV
• Share responsibility for operation, maintenance and further development of the end stations and associated equipment, with the team of scientists and engineers that will be built up around NanoMAX
• Share responsibility for the support of external users during operation
Note: The nature of the participation in user support will depend on the interests and the profile of the successful candidate.
Qualifications:
• The candidate must hold an electrical or mechanical engineering degree, PhD or similar degree in natural sciences in subjects of relevance for NanoMAX
• Experience in planning, design/construction/purchase, operation and maintenance of complex scientific equipment is mandatory, in particular such equipment that is of relevance for the NanoMAX end stations. This include mechanical design, electrical design and project management
• The candidate must have a demonstrated knowledge of X-ray instrumentation and associated technique(s)
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, excellent command of english, communication and team working skills are further requests
The following qualifications are considered further merit:
• Experience in micro- and nano-positioning technology
• Experience in vacuum and cryogenics
• Experience in development of software for instrumentation control
• Experience of user support at synchrotron beam lines or similar user-oriented research facility
• Experience in the use of experimental techniques relevant for NanoMAX
Qualified candidates will be interviewed over Skype on the 26, 27, 28 of August.
