PhD Thesis Student (f/m) on ID06-LVP in the Matter at Extremes Group

The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.

Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.

Supported by 21 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.

Subject: Oxidation and fluorination reactions at high pressure and temperature You will join Prof. Ulrich Häussermann (Stockholm) and Dr. Wilson Crichton (ESRF), to synthesise solid-state compounds with higher oxidations states through oxidation and fluorination reactions at high pressure and temperature.

The beamline ID06-Large Volume Press's mission is to study the synthesis, phase diagrams, transitions and physical properties of materials at high pressure and temperature by X-ray diffraction, often coupled with ancillary techniques.

Further information may be obtained from Wilson Crichton (tel.: +33 (0)4 76 88 22 69, email: crichton@esrf.fr), or Ulrich Häussermann (+46(0)8 16 23 90, email: Ulrich.haussermann@mmk.su.se).

- Degree allowing enrolment for a PhD (such as MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea or equivalent) in chemistry, physics, materials science, geosciences or closely related science

- A background in solid-state chemistry, high pressure synthesis or X-ray diffraction is desirable

- Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)

The salary will be calculated on the basis of relevant qualifications and professional experience.
