Job Postings:

  • SSRL Material Sciences Division Director (SLAC Job ID. 4150)

    SSRL, a Directorate of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, and a national research facility, seeks a Senior Scientist with research interest and strong experience in synchrotron radiation (SR)-based materials science and strong background leading and managing technical research organization. The scientist will develop and lead a vigorous materials research program that will drive the development of new capabilities at SSRL, including experimental approaches, instrumentation, and integrating the research with x-ray probes.

  • European XFEL PhD Program 2020/2021 (Deadline to Apply: October 7)
    The European XFEL in Hamburg, Germany has seven PhD positions and is looking to attract talents from all over the world, specifically from partner countries (Denmark, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK). Learn more


  • Argonne National Laboratory, Postdoctoral Appointee, Ultrafast coherent x-ray imaging aided by artificial intelligence - The successful candidate will lead the development of time-resolved hard x-ray Bragg ptychography to study nanoscale structural dynamics of quantum materials. This is a new technique that takes advantage of x-ray coherence and timing structure at the Advanced Photon Source for achieving spatiotemporally resolved x-ray measurements at synchrotrons for characterizing a wide range of nanoscale structural properties in real time. The goal of the project is to solve emergent problems in materials science and condensed matter physics where nonequilibrium structural heterogeneities are involved. The systems of interests include but are not limited to domains in complex oxides, two-dimensional materials, nanoscale thermal transport, and color-center-based quantum sensors.  Learn More


  • Stanford PULSE Institute Postdoctoral Researcher – SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
    The Solution Phase Chemistry group in the PULSE Institute is looking for postdoctoral candidates to lead research projects focused on the development and use of ultrafast x-ray methods to study excited state relaxation processes and photochemical reactions of solvated transition metal complexes.

  • SSRL Postdoctoral Position (XAS rs) for in-situ/operando Catalyst Characterization for Upcycling of Polymers - The successful 2-3 year postdoctoral candidate will work as an integral member of the BOTTLE team at SLAC to study the geometric and electronic structure of homogeneous and heterogenous catalytic systems using a combination of in-situ/operando hard- and soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy, EXAFS, X-ray emission spectroscopy, resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, etc. and density functional theory methods. The overarching goal is to leverage the structural/electronic insights to better understand and facilitate polymer upcycling.  Learn More


  • SSRL Postdoctoral Position (XAS bare) for in-situ/operando Catalyst Characterization for Deconstruction and Upcycling of Polymers - This 2-3 year postdoctoral candidate will work as an integral member of the BOTTLE team at SLAC to study the geometric and electronic structure of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts using a combination of in-situ/in-operando hard- and soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy, EXAFS, X-ray emission spectroscopy, and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering with a focus on identification of the active species.  Learn More


  • SSRL Postdoctoral Position (XAS saxs) for in-situ/operando Catalyst Characterization for Deconstruction and Upcycling of Polymers - This 2-3 year postdoctoral candidate will work as an integral member of the BOTTLE team at SLAC to study the geometric and electronic structure of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts using a combination of in-situ/in-operando hard- and soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy, EXAFS, X-ray emission spectroscopy, and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering with a focus on identification of the active species. Learn More


  • SwissFEL Tenure Track Scientist Position: We are looking for an Instrument Scientist for our new Maloja endstation for atomic, molecular and non-linear physics and chemical sciences at the soft X-ray branch Athos of SwissFEL. This is a tenure-track position with the opportunity to build an independent science program around the SwissFEL Maloja capabilities. The endstation covers a wide range of experimental techniques from electron and ion spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy to single-shot diffractive imaging. The flexible Athos undulator line can produce intense few- to sub-femtosecond soft X-ray pulses (250 – 1800 eV) of multiple colors for non-linear x-ray sciences. Please find more details of the job description under the following link: https://www.psi.ch/en/pa/job-opportunities/35543-instrument-scientist-tenure-track and some more information about the endstation here https://www.psi.ch/en/swissfel/maloja .


  • Argonne National Laboratory – Postdoctoral Researcher Position: At Argonne National Lab we have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to play a major role in conducting AMO physics experiments exploring ultrafast x-ray phenomena with XFELs and tabletop sources.  This research is foundational to improving our understanding of the interaction of intense x-rays with matter and elucidating dynamic electron-nuclear correlations on the femto- and attosecond timescales in gas phase and condensed matter systems.  The work will utilize intense ultrafast x-rays at LCLS, EuXFEL and other free-electron laser facilities in the near term and also involve the implementation of few-cycle optical pulses at high repetition rate.  The responsibilities include setting up and participating in experiments, performing data analysis, working with theorists to obtain a quantitative understanding, and interpreting and publishing the results.  The AMO group’s recent activities can be found here.
