[ccp4bb] 2 beamline development postdoctoral positions available in Hamburg

[Arwen Pearson]

We are seeking two exceptional postdoctoral candidates to help develop a 
time-resolved endstation at the EMBL beamline P14 at PETRA III for ns-ms 
time-resolved diffraction experiments that will complement the faster 
experiments possible at the soon to be operational neighbouring European 
XFEL. The project will encompass all aspects of a time-resolved 
pump-probe X-ray diffraction experiment, including X-ray beam delivery, 
pump-probe synchronisation, sample delivery, data acquisition and 
processing. Candidates will be expected to work on endstation design, 
construction and commissioning, as well as supporting proof-of-principle 
time-resolved experiments on P14, other beamlines, and existing 
ultrafast optical spectroscopy setups. The successful candidates will 
become part of an interdisciplinary team from the University of Hamburg, 
DESY and EMBL. UNIVERSITÄT HAMBURG  We're particularly looking for 
candidates who have experience of the development and integration of 
synchrotron instrumentation or time-resolved laser applications, as well 
as implementing instrument control.

The deadline for applications is the 23rd December 2016 for a planned 
start date in March 2018 and more details, including application 
instructions, can be found here:
