Post-doc (f/m) on beamline ID10-COH in the X-ray Diffraction and Scattering Group
il y a 2 semaines
Context & Job Description
The ID10-COH beamline exploits the high fraction of coherent photons delivered by the upgraded ESRF-EBS storage rings to probe nano and atomic scale structures and dynamics.
Dynamics is studied using X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) that is analogous to dynamic light scattering using X-rays. XPCS allows studying motions in several disordered systems ranging from complex fluids, colloids, vesicles, proteins to glasses. The high flux and the newly developed pixels detectors are opening new opportunities to investigate dynamics extending from sub-μs to thousands of second time scales. Nanoscale (~10 nm) imaging experiments are performed using the so called "Coherent Diffraction Imaging" approach. It allows a 3D imaging of isolated objects smaller than 6 μm in size. It has been used to study "objects" ranging from exoskeletons of marine algae and calcium carbonate microparticles to cell and battery anodes.
You will participate in on-going in-house research programmes on the ID10-COH endstation, contribute to the operation of the beamline, and provide support to external users as local contact. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own research programme, aligned with ID10-COH's scientific objectives and capabilities, and establish collaborations with ESRF colleagues and the user community.
