group is now seeking to recruit a:

Post-doctoral fellow (m/f)
for the TROIKA beamline ID10A

THE FUNCTION:
The ID10A branch of the TROIKA beamline is optimized to allow studies of 
dynamic processes in condensed matter by x-ray photon correlation 
spectroscopy (XPCS). This technique relies on the large coherent flux 
delivered by 3rd generation synchrotrons and it is continuously being 
developed at ID10A. In addition to XPCS, it is planned to initiate coherent 
diffraction imaging (CDI) experiments at the beamline where the exact 
structure and morphology of the scattering object can be reconstructed via 
phase retrieval methods. Such experiments are at the heart of the 
motivation for building new, powerful X-ray lasers which may allow 
reconstruction of diffraction data from a single molecule.

You are expected to participate in research projects concerning the use of 
coherent x-ray scattering and XPCS, in close collaboration with the ID10A 
team. The commissioning of a CDI setup at the beamline is planned and will 
be your main task. Some work on phase retrieval algorithms is also 
foreseen. Another part of the job function concerns local-contact support 
to our external users, which offers the possibility of collaborative work 
with leading European scientists and laboratories in forefront research.

For additional technical information and information about the research 
program, please refer to the ID10A web pages: 
http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/Experiments/SCMatter/ID10A/

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:
You must hold a PhD in physics, chemistry or a related field and experience 
with synchrotron radiation is expected. Knowledge of coherent x-ray 
scattering and phase retrieval methods or CDI, is an obvious advantage.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The ESRF shares a site with several other major European scientific 
institutes; it offers an exciting opportunity in an international 
atmosphere. Installation allowances will be given to new staff coming from 
outside the Grenoble area, and an expatriation allowance can be given 
according to specific internal regulations. Only candidates holding a Ph.D. 
obtained less than 3 years ago are eligible for Post-doctoral positions. 
Post-doctoral fellows are employed for an eighteen-month period with a 
possibility of extension to another six to eighteen months and the contract 
should start as soon as possible. Further information on the post can be 
obtained from Anders MADSEN (<email:amadsen...@esrf.fr>email:amadsen...@esrf.fr).
