Research Engineer

Ansök

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has around 44 000 students and more than 8 000 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.

The Science division at MAX IV is divided into a number of supporting groups and three scientifically oriented groups, Imaging, Diffraction and Scattering, and Spectroscopy.

These groups are further divided into teams based on beamline or scientific technique. Each team has the task to develop and support the instrumentation and scientific activities at the different beamlines. The aim is to maintain and develop state of the art equipment at stable operation.

We are looking for a research engineer to work as part of Spectroscopy I and II groups at the HIPPIE, SPECIES (APXPS branch) and FinEstBeams beamlines with the focus on the support and development of the beamline user IT infrastructure.
The APXPS team consist of two beamlines – HIPPIE and SPECIES (APXPS branch) which are in user operation and provide wide range of sample environments as well as variety supporting techniques for users.
FinEst beamline has two branches to serve solid state and gas phase research communities. The main task for the engineer will be to tailor current MAX IV control system (Tango-Sardana) to meet individual needs of the SPECIES, HIPPIE, and FinEst beamlines. This is critical for the facility to be able to provide user support of the highest standards. Particular attention must be paid to the user interfaces and the level of automation in order to maximise scientific output of research instruments.
To achieve this the engineer will spend substantial amount of their time in a close contact with the beamline team and users participating in the commissioning activities as well as experiments. The engineer will also closely interact with the IT group of MAX IV to obtain information about standards and guidances as well as to receive necessary initial training.

The successful candidate will be offered
• Excellent possibilities to drive software development in collaboration with the beamline team, users, and the IT group.
• A stimulating research groups where we work together and push the limits of scientific instrumentation.
• A unique chance to engage with a large number of research projects performed by the beamline teams and the users.

The work tasks of the research engineer include, but are not limited to the following
• Participate in the development of the control and data acquisition software for the HIPPIE, SPECIES, and FinEst beamlines.
• Participate in related beamline activities such as commissioning and development
• Follow standards and guidelines of MAX IV IT group including providing necessary documentation for developed code.
• Document developed code according to MAX IV standards and provide written instructions/manuals to beamline users and staff regarding software available at the beamlines

To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications
• Bachelors or Masters degree within STEM subject
• Experience with Python, MATLAB, C++ or other major programming language
• Proven experience in collaborative software development.
• A documented significant contribution to the development of a major software project during the last 3 years

Below are seen as merits
• Experience from the research environment (e.g. universities, research laboratories, research facilities) in STEM subject.
• Experience of working at synchrotron light sources or other large experimental facilities
• Experience of working in an international environment

As a person you are
• A self-starter and problem solver
• Open to learning new technologies
• A team player committed to the goals of the team
• Reliable and responsible
• Able to listen and respect others
• Fluent in English (spoken/written)

Licentiate position – Virtual fences for cattle

Ansök

SustAinimal
SustAinimal (http://www.

sustainimal.se) is a research center comprising academia, research institutes and stakeholders from the whole food production value chain in Sweden that with a transdisciplinary approach will increase our knowledge on the role of livestock in future food production. SustAinimal takes account of environmental, social and economic aspects and follows the cutting-edge in research. SustAinimal postulates that change, development, and innovation are necessary to accomplish the required change in society for a competitive agriculture and a future food production that is both resilient and sustainable. Our goal is to provide society with the opportunity to make informed, conscious and independent decisions to produce and consume responsibly.

In SustAinimal, a total of five PhD students will be funded. All PhD students in SustAinimal are expected to actively participate in ‘SustAinimal Academy’. SustAinimal Academy is a meeting platform for young researchers in SustAinimal with its own Summer School, courses and other activities.

About the role
This licentiate project aims to develop knowledge about how cattle learn to use virtual fences. A virtual fence is as an alternative to traditional fence and can be used for a more flexible grazing area for mainly sheep, goats and cattle. They operate via GPS technology and provide an audio signal and an electrical pulse stimulus via a neckband device. The devise is set up to first give the animals’ a signal cues if they move to close to the virtual boarder, if they continue moving forward they receive a low electrical pulse You will investigate how learning curves varies between animals and which training method results in the fastest adaptation to a virtual fence, as well as how the animals' stress level is affected by the virtual fence. The results will be delivered to the Swedish Board of Agriculture at the end of the project to contribute the knowledge they require to approve the technology for virtual fences in Sweden. This position is for a two-year licentiate with the possibility for extension to a full PhD.

The location is at RISE in Lund or Uppsala.

Who are you?
The ideal candidate for this position should have a master’s degree in animal sciences or equivalent. To be eligible to get the position, a university degree of at least 240 higher education credits is required. Experience of working with cattle is a merit.
