The Sample Environment and Characterization group operates state-of-the-art user laboratories for sample preparation and characterization. The laboratories are equipped with a wide range of advanced characterization devices such as electron microscopes, an X-ray diffractometer, and a photoelectron spectrometer.

Specifically, for operating and further developing the electron spectrometer lab, we’re searching for a Scientist Electron Spectrometer Lab.

The Position

• Develop and operate our photoelectron spectroscopy setup using a spherical analyser
• Angular resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES)
• Photo electron emission microscopy (PEEM)
• Support internal and external users of the European XFEL in sample preparation and characterization techniques
• Scanning electron microscopy
• Focussed ion beam milling and deposition
• Optical microscopy and other lab-bases sample characterization methods
• Collaborate in scientific projects involving sample characterization
• Occasionally participate in shift work in order to facilitate user experiments.
