Beamline I05-ARPES consists of two branches. HR-ARPES is a high resolution, low temperature instrument of angle-resolved photoemission studies of cleaved single crystal samples as well as thin film samples prepared in the attached surface science facilities. Nano-ARPES is a new scanning photoemission spectro-microscope with spot size well below 1 μm. The photon energy range is 18 – 240 eV with variable polarization and high photon flux from a 5m long undulator.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to perform experiments and analysis of the data on the beamline or similar facilities within the science program of the beamline team as well as external collaborations. You are expected to have experience in electron spectroscopy experiments or other relevant high-resolution probes of the electronic structure of solids with a focus on strongly correlated electron systems.

The PDRA will be responsible for running a strong experimental research program under the supervision of the Principal Beamline Scientist. Experiments can be done within the beamline team or in collaboration with external partners from sample preparation through to publication in high impact journals.
