Organization:<\/strong> European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France. It is recognized as one of the world’s leading research facilities, with approximately 700 staff members from 38 countries. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams used by scientists in fields including biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.<\/p>\n The successful candidate will contribute to the operation of beamline ID10-SURF and its ongoing in-house research programmes. The research will focus on interactions between biological membrane mimics at liquid interfaces and macromolecules, including polymers and proteins, using X-ray surface scattering techniques.<\/p>\n The ID10 surface scattering station investigates hard and soft condensed matter surfaces and interfaces using X-ray reflectivity (XRR), grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES).<\/p>\n The beamline also features a double crystal deflector (DCD), which enables studies of liquid surfaces, including buried interfaces. Available sample environments include a Langmuir trough and a reactor for chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of two-dimensional materials on liquid metal catalysts.<\/p>\n Current in-house research topics include Langmuir films that mimic cell membranes, nanoparticle assembly at liquid interfaces, and catalysis.<\/p>\n The announcement does not provide a separate preferred-qualifications list. Experience relevant to surface science, liquid interfaces, soft matter, scattering methods, and data modelling is emphasized in the requirements.<\/p>\n ESRF offers a competitive compensation and allowances package. Benefits described in the announcement include financial support for relocation to Grenoble, an international research environment, opportunities to collaborate with experts, and a workplace designed to support quality of life.<\/p>\n Exact salary figures and detailed allowance amounts are not specified.<\/p>\n Further information on employment terms and conditions is available at the ESRF employment information page<\/a>.<\/p>\n The supplied announcement directs applicants to apply online. A specific list of required application documents is not included in the provided text.<\/p>\n No specific English-language certificate or minimum proficiency score is stated in the announcement.<\/p>\n Not specified.<\/p>\n Dr. Oleg Konovalov<\/strong> Not specified in the supplied announcement.<\/p>\n Not specified.<\/p>\n Job ID: 1998, based on the supplied application URL.<\/p>\n
