Postdoctoral Positions at MAXlab, Sweden: Synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position as part of a Swedish funded research program, which aims at applying synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes. The task will be to design, assemble and test electrochemical cells suited to the demands of a particular experiment. Demonstrated practical experience with electrochemical equipment and knowledge of the X-ray absorption technique are necessary.

Eligibility requires a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science awarded not more than 5 years before the application date.
The MAX-laboratory is a Swedish National Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It presently consists of three electron storage rings and provides photons from IR up to the hard X-ray regime, serving 800 scientists a year.
