The HIPPIE beamline is located at the 3 GeV ring. Together with SPECIES beamline, it forms the APXPS group, which is focussed on the development of the Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Program at MAX IV. The beamlines provide a wide range of sample environments for in situ and operando XPS and XAS across 4 instruments and numerous sample environments. Approximately 10 scientists, research engineers and postdocs make up the group who, in addition to supporting the user science program, are all actively driving in-house research/development projects. Examples of which include time-resolved photoemission, electrochemistry, high-temperature corrosion, photocatalysis and thin-film deposition.

The APXPS group is looking for a researcher, to fill a 1-year temporary position, who will:

• Interact with and support user groups at the HIPPIE beamline (including on-call work).
• Handle the day-to-day operation of the HIPPIE beamline and endstations together with the other beamline staff.
• Take a driving role in the electrochemistry program at HIPPIE.
• Participate in collaborative research with Swedish research groups external to MAX IV.
• Propose competitive ideas for research and development projects that can be realised within the APXPS group.
• Support postdoctoral researchers and PhD students associated with the APXPS group.
