Beamline scientist, microtomography beamline BM18

You will play a major role in the operation and further development of the BM18 beamline by being in charge of the material science research programme.

The beamline’s main technique is hierarchical phase-contrast tomography on large objects. Its main applications are material sciences, biomedical imaging, natural and cultural heritage and geosciences. BM18 is also strongly involved in industrial activities. You will be in charge of the material sciences applications, for both academic and industrial users, together with the other members of the team. For some specific experiments, you would work from time to time on the BM05 beamline .

As a Beamline Scientist, your mission is the following:

• Manage the continuous technical upgrade and development of the instrument together with the other beamline scientists, industrial engineer and post-docs, so as to meet the high expectations of the user community.
• Support users through the role of local contact, thus gaining opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field.
• Develop your own research programme exploiting BM18’s unique technical possibilities, in the material sciences field.
