Institution
ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.
Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 Ge V electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions.
Located close to Barcelona, in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.
Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics. Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.
We are offering a Post Doctoral research position at the CIRCE-PEEM experimental station. Research is to be conducted in the frame of a coordinated national research project, focusing on spin-orbit effects in the context of spintronics. In particular, we are looking at magnetoelastic effects driven by static or dynamic strain (surface acoustic waves) and orbital currents and accumulation.
We look for enthusiastic scientist candidate holding a Ph D in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science or scientific technology, who has an experimental background in condensed matter physics, material science or nanotechnology. Knowledge in the field of magnetism and spintronics and/or multiferroics is expected. Experience with (preferably soft x-ray) synchrotron radiation and/or cathode lense electron microscopy (LEEM-PEEM) will be key assets.
