Offer Description

Beamline / Project / Activity description

The BaDElPh beamline at Elettra provides photons in the 4.6 - 40 eV energy range with high flux and energy resolution, and variable linear polarization. The beamline end-station is primarily devoted to high-resolution, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES).

The research carried out by the beamline staff focuses on the study of the electronic structure and many-body effects in solid materials using bulk-sensitive photoemission and ARPES with high energy and high momentum resolution. These activities are performed by exploiting the capabilities presently offered by the beamline and by further developing the instrumentation in order to accomplish the most challenging experimental needs.

Job description

The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with the beamline staff on research subjects such as the electronic structure of 2D materials, high Tc superconductors and topological insulators. It is expected and encouraged that she/he contributes actively to the in-house and external user research. Further, she/he will be involved in the operation, maintenance and upgrade of the BaDElPh beamline and experimental station.

In any case, the Ph.D. must be awarded by the end of December 2023.

Proven experience in the following techniques is required:

  • high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and/or Spin-resolved ARPES

The following additional qualifications will be positively evaluated:

  • Previous participation in experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities
  • Experience in VUV/soft-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
  • Experience in surface science preparation techniques and thin film growth
  • Experience in the operation and construction of scientific equipment relevant to UHV systems or for synchrotron beamlines
  • Programming skills in LabView and/or Igor Pro, with demonstrated ability in data processing

The successful candidate should possess strong interpersonal skills favoring collaborative research programs in a team-oriented environment.

Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, together with the ability to interact with the facility staff and international users at all levels and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
