ID01 is a state-of-the-art Micro-Nano Diffraction Imaging beamline that combines 3D/4D imaging with nano-spectroscopy and diffraction techniques, offering a truly multi-modal approach. The beamline team works in close collaboration with the user community to develop advanced tools that take full advantage of the ESRF’s unique beam coherence and brilliance. Techniques such as scanning nanobeam diffraction microscopy, full-field diffraction microscopy, and Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI) are uniquely integrated at ID01. These are applied across a broad range of scientific fields, including catalysis, battery technology, materials science, microelectronics, and the physics of growth. The beamline provides a wide range of specific sample environments for in-situ and operando experiments, including high- and low-temperature setups, electric driving of samples and devices, and time-resolved studies down to 100 picoseconds. ID01 is continuously evolving, integrating technological advances in nanopositioning, X-ray optics, and related fields. The core team is supported by visiting scientists and PhD students through external grants and collaborations with research institutes across Europe.The scientist recruited for this position will be expected to carry out innovative research, develop an in-house project that exploits ID01's unique technical capabilities, and provide support to external users from both academia and industry. The role involves driving the ongoing technical development and upgrade of the beamline, working in close collaboration with international experts and contributing actively to the dissemination of scientific results through publications and conference presentations.
EXPECTED PROFILE
- A Ph.D. in Physics or Chemistry or Biology or a closely related subject
- A minimum of two years of postdoctoral experience with X-ray (coherent) diffraction, X-ray optics or related methods.
- A strong aptitude for synchrotron beamline instrumentation including programming skills (Python) would be an asset.
- Sound knowledge of diffraction/scattering techniques data analysis and modelling will be essential for in-house research and user support.
- Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)
