Postdoctoral Researcher, Nuclear Resonance Scattering (ID14), Matter at Extremes

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.

The selected candidate will be involved in maintaining and further developing the nuclear resonance programme at the ID14 Nuclear Resonance beamline. The person is requested to perform their own research program exploiting the unique technical capabilities of the beamline, especially in high energy and/or high spatial resolution. It is expected that the person will contribute to the operation of ID14 and support its user community in the preparation and successful execution of their experiments.
