Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked as one of the world's leading academic institutions. With approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees across Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö, we are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions. Your Team MAX IV is building TomoWISE, a new tomographic beamline designed to advance materials science for sustainability. To execute this project, we are assembling a specialized team to develop the beamline into fully operational equipment. As part of this team, currently consisting of a leading beamline scientist, a research engineer, and a data scientist, you will collaborate closely with experts in both technical and scientific divisions to plan, install, and commission advanced infrastructure and equipment. You will contribute to developing and maintaining tomographic imaging methods and support future beamline users. The project is led by TomoWISE's principal beamline scientist, and during the project period, the team will be part of the Beamline Office Group within the scientific division. Would you like to work at one of the world's strongest light sources? MAX IV is seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in sustainable materials research, enthusiasm for advancing materials science research through tomographic imaging, and a strong commitment to contributing to the scientific community. The successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to participate in and contribute to building a new beamline and be part of its initial scientific program, with the possibility of early commissioning of the large beam option in 2028. In addition to contributing to the beamline project and preparing for its future capacity, the candidate is expected to conduct an independent research project, ideally in collaboration with current and future MAX IV users. Your Main Responsibilities Will Be Contribute to the installation and commissioning of beamline instrumentation, including optics, sample holders, and detectors. Contribute to the implementation of relevant software for tomographic reconstruction and image analysis, in collaboration with the Beamline team and other internal resources. Drive your own research program, within national and international collaborations, focusing on materials for sustainability. Present and publish your research results internally and at conferences, workshops, and in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Engage with MAX IV's user community and contribute to the team's outreach activities. To Succeed in This Role, You Should Have the Following Qualifications A doctorate degree in a STEM field. Experience in materials science research or development of tomographic methods, with a genuine scientific interest in a materials science area (e.g., structural materials, energy materials, geology, functional materials for sustainability). Experience with experimental research, focusing on microscopy and imaging, preferably using X-ray radiation. This includes practical work with instrumentation, commissioning, as well as data collection and analysis. Documented ability to drive research projects from proposal to publication, with a collaborative approach. Experience presenting at conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Fluent English—both spoken and written. The Following Are Considered Merits Experience and ability to prioritize and communicate effectively in a fast-paced environment at a large user facility. A practical approach with commitment to experimental work. Experience working in large collaborative teams. Ability to collaborate across disciplines and coordinate with internal and external partners. Background in scientific programming is highly desirable. Knowledge of AI/ML-based methods for image reconstruction, segmentation, or quantitative data analysis is considered a merit. As a person, you are curious, self-driven, flexible, communicative, and committed to teamwork. You have demonstrated ability to manage complex system integration and coordinate effectively with support groups. Working as part of an interdisciplinary team where contributions from technical and scientific staff from different divisions are crucial for progress is an asset. Eligibility To be appointed to a postdoctoral position, the applicant must hold a doctorate degree or an international degree deemed equivalent to a doctorate in the field of the position, and this degree must have been completed no more than three years before the application deadline. Under special circumstances, the doctorate may have been completed earlier than the three years mentioned above. Additional Information This is a full-time position on a fixed-term basis. A postdoctoral researcher is employed for a period of at least two years and at most three years. The employment period is determined in accordance with the agreement "Agreement on Fixed-Term Employment as Postdoctoral Researcher-2022-02-01".
