Post-doctoral researcher (1 year)
MULTIELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY
The position is for a motivated physicist to continue the development of NANOMO’s magnetic bottle electron spectrometer setup for multielectron coincidence spectroscopy. The post-doctoral researcher will work with a PhD student dedicated to the project and in collaboration to spectroscopy team of the unit. The project relates to Academy of Finland project “Characterization of free-standing nanomaterials using novel light sources” which studies surface properties of clusters and nanoparticles – fundamental importance in physics and interest in many applied fields from atmospheric chemistry to materials science. Experiments will be mainly carried out at synchrotron radiation facilities. The development work is at NANOMO laboratory in Oulu which is equipped with various excitation sources, spectrometers and sample delivery systems.
The successful candidate has a doctoral degree (or studies and dissertation completed) in physics, chemistry or a related field. The candidate is expected to conduct high-level research and to take actively part in international scientific community and collaboration. Knowledge of synchrotron radiation, vacuum technology, and photoelectron (or ion) spectroscopy is required. The candidate should have fluent English, good oral and written communication skills, and ability to work as part of an international team.
The salary will be based on the level 5 – 6 of the demand level chart for teaching and research staff of Finnish universities. In addition, a salary component based on personal work performance will be paid.
