Jobbeschreibung
We have a unique expertise and infrastructure in one laboratory combining X-ray diffraction (XRD), scattering (SAXS) and 3D imaging (XCT, XPCI) on various lengths scales.Our core activities in the development X-ray based methods relate to soft matter such as polymers and complex biological systems with applications in the medical domain. We focus on studies under various non-ambient environmental conditions (4D) giving access to structure dynamics.
In this tenure-track group leader position, you have the possibility to develop an international scientific profile and to obtain a permanent position after successful evaluations after 2 and 4 years.
Your tasks
- R&D in the domain of X-ray analytics, with a focus on small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), non-ambient environmental studies, data analysis, modelling and simulations
- Planning and leading scientific projects as well as an ongoing development of methods and equipment
- writing project proposals and acquisition of external funding
- presentation of scientific results through publications and on conferences
- active engaging with scientific collaborators and industrial partners
Your profile
- PhD degree in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science or physics
- deep knowledge in X-ray diffraction and scattering methods
- scientific excellence and being an independent researcher
- creative, curious,thinking “out of the box”and interdisciplinary
- proactive and convincing
- successful in project acquisition (SNF, InnoSwiss or similar)
- experienced in project management and writing scientific publications
- fluent in English and German and enjoying a multicultural environment
We offer a challenging executive position at a research institution with excellent infrastructure and broad interdisciplinary surrounding. The work will be carried out at Empa St. Gallen. Starting date: 1st of January 2020 or by agreement.
