Your team
The HIPPIE beamline is located at the 3 GeV ring.
Together with SPECIES beamline, it forms the "APXPS group", which is focussed on the development of the Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Program at MAX IV. The beamlines provide a wide range of sample environments for in situ and operando XPS and XAS across 4 instruments and numerous sample environments. The group consists of approximately 10 members including scientists, engineers and postdocs who are actively driving multiple in-house research/development projects, among which are time-resolved photoemission, electrochemistry, high-temperature corrosion, photocatalysis and thin-film deposition.
Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?
The HIPPIE beamline is looking for a scientist who will:
- Interact with and provide support for user groups in relation to their beamtimes
- Participate in the maintenance, development, commissioning of the HIPPIE beamline and its endstations
- Actively drive the development of one or more scientific projects, including within the topic of time-resolved APXPS, using the capabilities of the HIPPIE and SPECIES beamlines in collaboration with user groups.
Your main work tasks will be to:
- Interact with and support user groups at the HIPPIE beamline (including on-call work)
- Handle the day-to-day operation of the HIPPIE beamline and endstations together with the other beamline staff
- Have primary responsibility for ensuing the operational status of the "solid-gas" endstation at HIPPIE
- Lead and manage development projects at HIPPIE, as well as contribute to projects at SPECIES
- Establish collaborative research with other groups outside MAX IV and involve them in APXPS team activities
- Propose competitive ideas for development projects and research that can be realised within the APXPS group
- Operate the HIPPIE beamline, end stations and auxiliary beamlines
- Support postdoctoral researchers and PhD students associated with the APXPS group.
To be qualify for this role, you will need to have the following qualifications/experience:
- Have a PhD in chemistry, physics or closely related subject
- At least three years of professional research experience (after PhD) in the field of synchrotron-based APXPS, including performing and interpreting operando photoemission experiments
- Extensive experience in using and maintaining ultrahigh vacuum instrumentation
- Demonstrated ability to work independently
- Excellent command of the English language, good communication, and team working skills.
The following are seen as merits:
- Experience in user support at synchrotrons
- Experience with the design, set-up and commissioning of new surface science instruments
- Experience with IR spectroscopy, XAS or Mass Spectrometry
- Experience with time-resolved spectroscopy with surface chemistry systems
- Experience in the fields of surface catalysis, electrochemistry or thin-film deposition
- Experience in programming in Python
- Experience in handling large spectroscopy datasets
- Experience in assisting with the supervision of PhD or postdoc projects.
