Postdoc experienced in electrochemistry research

MAX IV is looking for a Postdoc experienced in electrochemistry research. The focus will be to document experimental designs and

procedures that give reliable and reproducible results, transferrable between research facilities in Europe. Two to three reaction

cells based on the most promising designs will be developed and tested at major European synchrotrons. All results (CAD models,

performance data, and procedures) will be published in an open data base for the benefit of the European research community.

Your team At MAX IV, you will work in the Support Labs team which is part of the Beamline Office group. The Support Labs team is

involved in support for sample preparation, installation and maintenance of sample environments, as well as detector support for

beamlines. In addition, the team operates ten chemistry and instrumentation labs across MAX IV. This project was granted funding

from the EU organisation LEAPS, consisting of all major synchrotron radiation sources in Europe. The motivation for the project

comes from academia and industry that seeks standardisation of electrochemical experiments and technical solutions to ensure

reproducible and accurate results from all facilities. The project is called SEEQuality and includes close collaboration with a

postdoc at ESRF/CEA (France) and an engineer at HZB (Germany). Your main work tasks will be  - Plan and partake in the development

of an expert advisory board in electrochemistry. The board will guide in selecting the best technical solutions.  - Jointly with

ESRF/CEA and HZB review the best designs for electrochemistry experiments, and documenting these in the open database

Wayforlight.  - Take part in the development of electrochemical reaction cells (demonstrators) in collaboration with ESRF/CEA and

HZB. - Take part in the in the initial testing of the reaction cells and collect data to be published in the Wayforlight database.

• Take part in a Round-robin test of the developed reaction cells at different synchrotron facilities.  To be successful in this

role you need to have the following qualifications  - PhD in physics, chemistry, or engineering. - Demonstrated experience with

electrochemistry research at synchrotron radiation sources or similar large research infrastructures. - You are interested in

interdisciplinary work in collaboration with research groups of very diverse backgrounds as well as engineers and technicians -

Good command of the English language, good communication and team working skills. Below are seen as merits - Demonstrated

experience in the development of electrochemical reaction cells. - Experience in analysis of data from electrochemical research. -

Experience with documentation and certification of instrumentation for laboratory experiments.  - Experience with instrumentation

used in synchrotron X-ray based research. As a person you have a demonstrated ability to work independently, as well as having the

ability to cooperate with different teams and functions. Eligibility Appointment to the position of postdoc requires that the

applicant has a PhD or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more

than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances the PhD can have been completed previous to the

aforementioned three years. Further information This is a full-time, fixed-term employment for 2 years. A postdoctoral fellow is

employed under a period of at least two years and at most three years. The period of employment is determined in accordance with

the agreement “Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor-2022-02-01” (“Agreement on fixed-term employment as a

post-doctoral fellow, 2022-02-01”)  What we offer When you join our MAX IV team, you step into a world of cutting-edge science. We

make the invisible visible by supporting scientists from all over the world and enabling scientific results for the benefit of

society. We offer a multicultural work environment with opportunities for professional development and a healthy work-life

balance. Would you like to work in a challenging and supportive environment and contribute directly to the reliable operation of

one of the world's most advanced synchrotron facilities? Then join us and take the opportunity to make a real difference. For
