MAX IV Laboratory, a part of Lund University, has operated successfully for more than 25 years and is currently building the new MAX IV synchrotron facility in Lund.
More than 900 scientists from Sweden and the rest of the world are coming to the MAX IV Laboratory every year to use the x-rays produced by our electron accelerators. They do research in areas such as materials science, structural biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology. 150 people are currently employed at the MAX IV Laboratory. The MAX IV facility, the largest and most ambitious Swedish investment in research infrastructure, will be the brightest source of x-rays worldwide and will replace the existing laboratory, which today consists of the storage rings MAX I, II and III.
We are looking for a bemaline scientist in SAXS.


Job assignments

We are looking for a scientist with substantial experience in small angle X-ray scattering technique. The candidate will be working at the SAXS beamline, the I911-4 station, at the MAX IV Laboratory with focus on following tasks:
- Development and maintenance of the activities at the I911-4 station.
- Users support and activities related with both academic and industrial users, including SAXS data collection and analysis. Availability for working after hours and during weekends.
- Availability to collaborate with the members of the SAXS team and with external scientists.
The candidate will also have the possibility of developing his/her own research project within the overall beamline profile.

Qualifications

The following qualifications are considered as musts:
- Ph.D degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Material Science or equivalent.
-Solid knowledge in the Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique. Documented experience in SAXS data collection, data reduction and modeling.
- Documented experience as user at international facilities or laboratory sources in X-ray scattering techniques.
- Good communication skills and capabilities to interact in an international and multidisciplinary team.
The following qualifications are considered to be an advantage:
- Previous post-doc position in the field of SAXS.
- Experience on the design, constructions or commissioning of dedicated sample environments for X-ray scattering techniques.
- Experience in X-ray optics employed at synchrotrons.
- Experience in programming languages (as C++, Python or similar) and knowledge in SPEC and GUI Interfaces. Knowledge in Matlab or Mathcad is also an advantage.
