Beamline description:
TPS 15A (µ-XRD) is a beamline with a highly brilliance micro-focus X-ray beam, a high precision kappa-geometry goniometer and a large-area detector. TPS 15A aims to determine the 3D crystal structures from micro-scale single crystals and crystal structures under non-ambient conditions. The scientific topics will cover difficult crystals or micro-crystal structure determination, photo-crystallography, pump-probe Laue crystallography, high pressure crystallography and charge density analysis.
We are now looking for a promising scientist who are interested in crystallography, enjoys working in an international and creative environment, to join our team working at this advanced facility.
Job description:
As a beamline scientist, you will be involved in the beamline construction, continuing development of the related techniques of single crystal X-ray diffraction experiment, and the scope of techniques that can be offered to our user community. Control system and data reduction processes development is an important part of the beamline performance. The beamline scientist is expected to develop his/her own research program exploiting unique possibilities of this beamline. User support will be an important part of the activity which will provide opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field.
The tasks of the beamline scientist also include to participate in the expansion of the present and future user community of the µ-XRD beamline, and to share in commissioning and operation of the beamline and its infrastructure.
