Mer information
We are seeking a motivated researcher to work on a European-wide optics and metrology project. You will play a central part in coordinating tasks with a systematic study of contamination of X-ray optics, applying various cleanroom technologies to recover them to their original state.
For our X-Ray Optics group we are looking for a Scientist surface science and optical metrology technologies.
The Position
- Close collaboration and multidisciplinary work at EuXFEL as well as at the partner labs.
- Establish physical characterisation processes before and after treatment of optical surfaces, using surface science and optical metrology technologies, such as phase-shifting micro-interferometry, AFM, SEM, Photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy, and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
- Develop expertise in cleaning optics, removal of mirror coatings & refurbishments: determine the suitability of various methods to different types of contaminated coatings. Treatments may include: wet chemical processing and corrosive acid etchants, oxygen/ozone exposure, plasma treatment, or polymer film application.
- Plan, coordinate and execute scientific experiments and measurements for each project task - either in-house or at collaborator facilities in Europe
- Present project reports at meetings and conferences, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications
