POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW (M/F), the Microfocus Beamline ID13, ref. PDID13-1
Organization: ESRF
Location: Grenoble, France
Field: Physics
Requirements:
You should hold a PhD in chemistry, physics, biophysics, or closely related disciplines. A strong background in diffraction or scattering techniques is desirable. Knowledge in advanced data analysis methods like crystallography software packages, image processing, and/or scientific programming would be of advantage. Experience with complementary techniques like Raman spectroscopy would be appreciated
Abstract:
You will participate in ongoing in-house research programmes, the running of the beamline and providing support to external users as local contact.
Description:
You will participate in ongoing in-house research programmes, the running of the beamline and providing support to external users as local contact.
In particular, you will join in the effort of the group to upgrade the performance of the experimental end-stations and to develop experimental techniques related to micro- and nano-beams. You will also be encouraged to develop your own research projects, which should exploit the unique ID13 beamline capabilities (for further information about the instrument / instrumentation please consult http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/Experiments/SoftMatter/ID13/). Complementary techniques are micro-X-ray fluorescence analysis and micro-Raman spectroscopy. A dedicated nano-beam setup became operational in 2008.
The current research programme comprises macromolecular micro-crystallography and scanning diffractometry with an emphasis on biological and polymeric materials. We are also interested in developing coherent diffraction methods using nano-beams. Advanced sample environments such as in situ micro-fluidics open many scientific opportunities. Recently, the development and application of an optical tweezers based contact free sample environment has become an important topic bearing a high potential for future developments.
