Your team
SoftiMAX is a soft X-ray beamline focussed on spectro-microscopy and coherent imaging techniques, with 2 branch lines. The first branch delivers a nanoprobe beam for Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) and ptychography measurements, catering to many research fields including environmental science, life sciences, advanced materials and magnetism. The second branch has a stronger focus on exploring coherence, with diffraction imaging, holography and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) on solid state samples. The SoftiMAX team currently consists of 3 permanent staff, a postdoc, and a shared technician.

Your role
We are now looking for a researcher with a strong background in soft x-ray microscopy on magnetic materials and/or the use and development of coherent x-ray microscopy techniques, to join the SoftiMAX team. As part of the team, you will ensure optimal operation of the beamline plus its two end-stations. In addition, you will take an active role in strategic development of the beamline, shaping the user community, as well as have a chance to pursue your own project(s) at the beamline.
