The University of Primorska, in collaboration with InnoRenew CoE and UP IAM, is seeking  dynamic and motivated candidates to work at the new high-brilliance SAXS beamline (HB-SAXS) located at Elettra 2.0, Triest (Italy).

The new high-brilliance SAXS beamline (HB-SAXS) is based on an in-vacuum undulator (IVU) and will cover a photon energy range from 4.5 to 17 keV with micrometric spot size and photon flux of >1012 photons/s. The scientific activity of the HB-SAXS beamline will extend the classical applications of the existing high-flux SAXS (HF-SAXS) beamline, and allow experiments in which high brilliance, small spot sizes and coherence are essential, such as, e.g., picosecond pump-probe experiments, 3D SAXS tensor tomography, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, Pytchography and coherent SAXS imaging.

Formally, this position is classified as Research Fellow at the InnoRenew CoE, Andrej Marušič Institute. The selected scientisits will be actively involved in research activities, particularly within the framework of the research on beamlines with the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. Their research duties will be determined in consultation with the department chair Andreja Kutnar and SAXS Beamlines group leader Sumea Klokic and may vary across academic years.

The candidates is expected and/or will be responsible for:

• • Support the researchers of the InnoRenew CoE department in combining their research to synchrotron techniques, particularly the ones offered at the SAXS beamlines. This includes experimental and technical support prior and during beamtime shifts, data treatment and/or post-processing as well as support in proposal writing.
• • Close collaboration with the SAXS Beamline group is expected, which is composed of scientists from University of Maribor, Technical University of Graz, and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, S.C.p.A..
• • Develop their own research proposals and apply for funding.

General description of duties and tasks according to the field of work:

• • management, organisation and planning of scientific-research work and of the development of the university and its members as a whole,
• • independent research work, comprehensive focus on the research field, research and development of theories and methods for transferring theories into practice,
• • establishment and maintenance of professional contacts with the research work users,
• • linking research activities with domestic and foreign scientific-research institutions, organising scientific and professional consultation and participation in them,
• • publishing quality scientific-research and professional works for the international and domestic professional public,
• • mentoring, caring for education and development of people,
• • participation in and management of professional bodies, joint projects and assignments and conducting,
• • other assignments in line with supervisors’ orders.
