Postdoctoral Fellow for the ID06-LVP beamline

The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.

Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.

Supported by 21 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.

You will participate in ongoing in-house research or development programmes, the operation of the beamline, providing support to external users as local contact, and develop your own research programme.

The beamline's mission is to explore the synthesis, phase diagrams, structures and properties of new and exciting compounds at extreme conditions. Data collection is primarily diffraction-based, though a large component of current User collection will also include ultrasonic measurements, or other ancillary techniques.
