Your team
The accelerators at the MAX IV facility are the core components for production of the synchrotron radiation.

There are two storage rings and one linear accelerator. The largest of these accelerators is the 3 GeV electron storage ring, which is the first in the world to employ a multi-bend-achromat magnet lattice to deliver ultra-high brightness synchrotron radiation. It is the first of the new generation of storage rings with extremely low emittance, of which only three are currently in existence, while several synchrotron radiation facilities worldwide are upgrading in this direction. We intend to stay at the forefront, and are therefore already studying improved lattices. You will work in the Accelerator Development Group, with the focus to study low-emittance lattices for our 3 GeV ring.

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for a postdoc that will study the single particle dynamics in several candidate low-emittance lattices. Both the injection process and the stored beam properties need to be studied. A sound scientific approach with systematic simulation studies will be needed. Interaction with different technology teams like magnet and vacuum specialists need to be intense all through the lattice evaluation process. Experimental tests in some of these candidate lattices are also foreseen.

Your main work tasks will be

- Contribute to the design of new lattices using the state of the art knowledge in the technologies (e.g. multi-bend achromats, longitudinal and transverse gradient bending magnets, anti-bend magnets) used to realize fourth generation low emittance storage rings
- Perform simulations of low-emittance lattices including single particle dynamics, both regarding injection processes and stored beam properties, with an accent on the effect of errors and the process of commissioning
- Perform both linear and non-linear magnet lattice evaluations iteratively
- Use optimization tools, preferably in a multi-objective fashion (e.g. MOGA), to refine the searches of lattice candidates
- Take part in meetings with accelerator physicists and engineers in order to find feasible solutions
- Find ways to explore the feasibility of your findings in the presently working accelerators at MAXIV
- Participate in the operations of the MAX IV accelerator systems.



To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications

- PhD in accelerator physics including single particle dynamics, or equivalent.
- Experience with storage ring lattice simulations using codes such as Accelerator Toolbox, Elegant or similar
- Theoretical and practical experience of storage rings. Experience in work related to physical and dynamic acceptances of a storage ring
- Experience in working in a team of a few persons with the same goal and skills as you, and judging how you can contribute most efficiently to reach the goal.


As a person you are eager to perform theoretical studies, with a critical eye on the feasibility of the proposed solutions. Good communication skills are considered an important asset.

Eligibility
Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the aforementioned three years.

Further information
This is a full-time employment for a period of 2-3 years, upon agreement. The period of employment is determined in accordance with the agreement “Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor-2022-02-01” (“Agreement on fixed-term employment as a post-doctoral fellow, 2022-02-01”)

Since coming into user operation in 2019, the Bloch beamline has built a reputation as an internationally top-tier facility for performing ARPES experiments, and hosts user groups from across the globe.

Bloch has two endstations, one dedicated to high-resolution ARPES with a Scienta DA30 analyzer and the other offering spin-resolved ARPES with a 3D VLEED detector paired with a Specs Phoibos 150 analyzer. The entire beamline team works together to develop and support the operation of the beamline and both endstations.

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for a postdoctoral researcher for an initial appointment of 2 years.

In order to succeed in this role you will demonstrate motivation and independence. Specifically, you are requested to propose a specific research project that you will undertake in order to produce high quality publications, and you will work diligently to ensure that this project are followed through all the way to publication. While all such projects would be considered, the beamline is particularly interested in projects that would fit to one of the following developmental themes:

Spin resolved ARPES: The spin-resolved endstation is still relatively new, and spin-ARPES is both technically and scientifically challenging. Bloch offers a combination of a 3D-VLEED detector, a small spot-size and access to arbitrary light polarization states of unusually high-purity. We welcome project plans that will lean heavily on some or all of these properties in order to develop and showcase the capabilities of our beamline to the wider community.
vdW heterostructures: A commercial 2D heterostructure transfer system has recently been installed at the beamline. This will allow the deterministic fabrication of interesting sample structures from exfoliable materials (thin flakes, twisted graphene, vdW heterostructures). If such samples can be created at or above the 10um lateral scale, they become accessible to ARPES studies at Bloch. We welcome project plans that would capitalize on the availability of this equipment to showcase what is possible. These may involve applications to the neighbouring MAX-PEEM beamline or to nano-ARPES facilities elsewhere.

More information about Bloch can be found here: https://blochdocs.maxiv.lu.se/   

Your main work tasks will be

Participate in the beamline operation, including acting as Local Contact for external groups
Contribute to the beamline maintenance and development

Your team
You will be working in the Accelerator Development group consisting of a wide variety of experts within the accelerator field, including accelerator physicists, RF experts and laser experts.

The Accelerator Development team is a part of MAX IV Accelerator Division, which is responsible for developing and operating all accelerator-based light sources at MAX IV.

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for a Post Doc who will work on a longitudinal injection scheme for the MAX 4U project.

The accelerators at the MAX IV facility are the core components for production of synchrotron radiation. There are two storage rings and one linear accelerator. The largest of these accelerators is the 3 GeV electron storage ring, which is the first in the world to employ a multi-bend-achromat magnet lattice to deliver ultrahigh-brightness synchrotron radiation. It is the first of the new generation of storage rings with extremely low emittance, of which only three are currently in operation, while several synchrotron radiation facilities worldwide are upgrading in this direction. We intend to stay at the forefront and are therefore already studying improved accelerator designs and components.

In particular, since January 2024 MAX IV is engaged in the design of a major upgrade to its 3 GeV ring, called MAX 4U. The upgrade aims at an outstanding improvement in light source performance to maintain MAXIV’s competitive edge beyond the end of this decade. As we push towards lower emittance, we face the consequence of a smaller dynamic aperture. This becomes an issue for off-axis injection, the current method at MAX IV.

We will therefore investigate the possibility of longitudinal injection, which we believe is feasible with the MAX IV's full energy linac and the option to use the photocathode gun for ring injection. There will also be a unique opportunity to test longitudinal injection into the current MAX IV storage ring.

Your main work tasks will be

- Simulations of linac and ring beam dynamics for longitudinal injection using tools such as Elegant, and Matlab Accelerator Toolbox
- Development of Photo Gun Injection
- Experimental verification of longitudinal injection in the MAX IV 3 GeV ring
- Co-author the conceptual design report for MAX 4U
- Take part in operational efforts of the MAX IV accelerators



To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications

- PhD in accelerator physics or equivalent
- In depth knowledge of accelerator physics
- Knowledge of electron tracking codes such as AT2 and elegant
- Programming skills e.g. python, MATLAB, C
- Fluent in written and spoken English



Below are seen as merits

- Experience with storage rings
- Experience with linear accelerators
- Experience of accelerator operations

As a person you are a team worker, self-driven and work well under pressure.

Eligibility
Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the aforementioned three years.

Further information
This is a full-time, fixed-term employment. A postdoctoral fellow is employed under a period
of at least two years and at most three years. The period of employment is determined in accordance with the agreement “Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor-2022-02-01” (“Agreement on fixed-term employment as a post-doctoral fellow, 2022-02-01”)

The MAX IV Laboratory has created a paradigm shift in accelerator science by developing the first fourth-generation electron storage ring, which has set a new standard in coherent X-ray beam availability and boosted ultrahigh resolution imaging capabilities.

One of the most promising techniques in this regard is X-ray ptychography, which allows a detailed (3D) mapping of extended samples and works across a wide X-ray energy range. To fully utilize the coherent fraction of MAX IV’s light, multi-beam ptychography is a recent development of the method where MAX IV could excel.

MAX IV is now looking for a Senior Coherent Imaging Expert to be attached to MAX IV to work on expanding the use of coherence at beamlines, for a duration of 24 months. The project is funded for 2 years in connection with the vice-chancellor's decision on “Allocation of common funds for recruitment of international excellent competence”.

To boost the use and user-friendliness of this novel coherent imaging method, we would like to attract an expert who is skilled in both multi-beam ptychography hardware (optics) and software (reconstruction algorithms) to help establish, optimize and/or expand this technique at several beamlines at MAX IV, where you will work together with existing beamline staff & support groups towards realization of multi-beam ptychography as a user-friendly method. New developments and ideas for other, novel coherent methods can also be discussed and tested. The work would ideally start in early 2025 and last 24 months.

The work tasks includes:

- Establishing regular and multi-beam ptychography at the CoSAXS beamline. Here, scanning of extensively large samples (largest Field of View, FoV) is the main aim.
- Optimize high throughput multi-beam ptychography at NanoMAX beamline for 3D functional studies: extended FoV, for higher speed 3D imaging.
- Expand & optimize the use of (single beam) ptychography at SoftiMAX (both branches) and test multibeam ptychography, using soft x-ray optics. Here, achieving the highest resolution is the aim.
 

To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications:

- PhD in Physics, and several years of experience working in synchrotrons.
- You have demonstrated experience with multi-beam ptychography and other coherence-based imaging methods. This includes both skills in the hardware and software needed for performing these experiments.
- You have successfully completed advanced technical/scientific projects on time and within budget and have demonstrable project planning skills.

Do you understand what it means to unravel complex synthesis pathways of metal-halide perovskites with X-rays? Are you curious about how things work on an atomic level, looking for a challenge and want to have an impact on our green energy transition? Then this might be the right project for you!

Background
The synthesis of highest efficiency metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) for solar cell applications is a fine tuned, sensitive and complex process with small processing windows.

The complex interaction of solvents, additives, precursors, substrates with intermediates and atmosphere determine the morphology, optoelectronic quality and to some extent the stability of the produced films in an almost “black box” process. A thorough understanding of the synthesis process, its processing windows and how they can be tuned is mandatory for up-scaled production.

Your Project will be embedded in a Horizon Europe funded consortium of 15 Universities, Institutes and companies for a joint effort to develop perovskite solar cell technology with industrially compatible processes for large areas. Your project will be an important building block for our overall success: Understanding the complex synthesis processes for highly efficient metal-halide perovskites on an atomic level will enable us to rationally tune them for large area deposition of uniform, highly efficient and stable materials.

Specifically, you will get optimized process recipes from our partners and investigate formation processes in-situ by means of multimodal XAS-XRD-XEOL. With these insights you will try to unravel synthesis pathways and rationalize processing windows in a larger parameter space. Your insight for optimization will be fed back to the process implementation at our partners to finally yield homogeneous, highly efficient and stable material on larger mini-module and industrial scales. There is a high potential for high impact publication of project results and substantial research career development.

Your team consists of technique experts in XAS and XRD and already has strong expertise in the investigation of synthesis processes of especially MHPs. Additionally you will work closely together with material and process experts in our research consortium.

Qualifications

- demonstrated expertise in metal-halide perovskites and their synthesis
- demonstrated experience of one or several of the synchrotron techniques (XAS, XRD/GIWAXS, XEOL/optical spectroscopy), including analysis methods. This should ideally be coupled with in-situ measurements.

Experience of interdisciplinary research is valuable. Significant contributions to peer-reviewed publications in the above directions are considered a strong plus.

As a person, you are creative, thorough and have a structured approach. When selecting among the applicants we will assess their ability to solve complex scientific problems, independently drive their work forward, collaborate with others and have a professional scientific approach. You should have the demonstrated ability to work independently as well as in a team, an excellent command of spoken and written English and well-developed communication skills.

Eligibility
Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the aforementioned three years.

This project is framed in the exploration of new catalytic materials, their molecular function and ways to use them for environmental protection and chemical production without putting planetary boundaries for sustainability at risk.

New catalytic materials - as synthesized at Chalmers University- will be studied with in-operando
combined spectroscopic and scattering methods in controlled environments. While X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals information about the chemical and electronic structure of the catalyst, simultaneously performed X-ray diffraction (XRD) will be used to investigate structural changes during catalytic reactions. Inherently combining XAS and XRD will further enable site selective investigations of the active catalytic site of the material.

MAX IV is now looking for a temporary scientist for 1 year on combined in-situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy to continue the development of a new in-situ setup and data acquisition scheme for simultaneous XAS and XRD, as well as for its application to real-time in-situ investigations. The successful candidate will develop and conduct combined XAS/XRD experiments for catalyst samples, optimizing the setup in terms of real-time time-resolution to enable investigations of quick processes with sub-second time-resolution. The scientist is further expected to develop diffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS).

We offer a focused project within the cutting edge field of real-time in-situ material research at one of the most advanced synchrotrons. The applicant will work on an inter-disciplinary project together with experts in the fields of in-situ X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and catalysis material research. There is a high potential for high impact publication of project results and research career development.

To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications
• The appointment as a scientist requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subjects of physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering or a related discipline.
