NoOffer DescriptionThe CHIRAX project (https://chirax. elettra. eu/) funded by the European Research Council aims at implementing steady-state and time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of chiral molecules in solution using circular and helical dichroism.

The steady-state part will be carried out at synchrotrons, while the time-resolved ones will exploit both synchrotrons and XFELs. Implementation of soft X-ray absorption and chiral spectroscopies of molecules in solution using flat liquid jets.

The chiral spectroscopies consist of Circular and Helical Dichroism as well as Non-linear optical/X-ray methods, while schemes to implement them in the time domain will also be developed.

Analysis of results, write-up of reports and papers, presentation at conferences and workshops. A PhD.

in Physics, Physical Chemistry or related discipline with specific expertise in laser and/or X-ray spectroscopy is required.

The candidate should have earned his/her PhD.

no more than 6 years ago. Applications will be considered also from candidates who have completed their doctoral research but for whom the defense is scheduled to take place. QualificationsThe following qualifications are considered as positive assets:Previous participation in experimental campaigns at XFELs and/or synchrotronsExperience with flat liquid jets under vacuumExperience in data processing and/or simulationsExperience in the theory of X-ray spectra and/or molecular systemsExperience with theory of non-linear phenomenaThe successful candidates should possess strong personal skills favouring collaborative research programs in a team-oriented environment. Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, together with the ability to interact with the facility staff and international users at all levels and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Good oral and written communication skills in English are essential.
