Beamline Operation Manager For the Extreme Conditions Beamlines ID15B and ID27 (F/M) - ESRF

Description

Context & Job description: You will be strongly involved in the instrumental developments and maintenance of the beamlines ID15B and ID27. You will participate in ongoing in-house research programmes, the operation of the beamline, providing support to external users as local contact, and develop your own research programme. Beamlines ID15B and ID27 are premier X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction stations primarily dedicated to research at extreme pressures and temperatures. The combination of high resolution XRD and advanced sample environments (Paris-Edinburgh large volume press, YAG and CO2 laser heating systems and helium-flow cryostat) open up many new possibilities in the study of matter at very high pressures and temperatures. You will play a major role in the running and further development of the High-Pressure beamline and shall actively participate in the activities of the Matter at Extremes group. User support will be a key activity which will provide much opportunity for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field. Beamtime will be set aside for in-house research and the Beamline Operation Manager will be given the opportunity to participate in the beamlines research programme in close collaboration with the beamline team.

Expected profile: Advanced Degree: You possess a Master’s degree or equivalent (300 ECTS) in Physics, Materials science or a related field. A PhD is highly valued. Specialized Skills: Deep expertise in powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as high-pressure techniques, is required. Technical Experience: You bring at least 5 years of hands-on experience with Diamond Anvil Cells (DAC) in both low and high-temperature applications. Beamline and Data Proficiency: Demonstrated experience with beamline alignment and operations, data acquisition and processing, and a strong foundation in electronics and/or programming. Collaborative Mindset: Strong ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams and facility users. Language Skills: Proficiency in English, the working language at ESRF.
