The fellow will participate in ongoing research programs, contribute to beamline operations, and support external users. They will also have the opportunity to develop their own research projects utilizing the unique capabilities of the ID20 beamline, which focuses on hard X-ray spectroscopy in the range of 4-20 KeV. The contract duration is 18 months, with a possibility of renewal.
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: Physics, Chemistry, or closely related sciences
Location: Grenoble, France
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in physics, chemistry, or a closely related science obtained within the last 3 years
