  • Engage with other groups of the Experiments Division and ALBA to find synergies between programs and develop new opportunities for the facility.
  • Develop your own scientific program in one of ALBA's focus areas, including energy materials and catalysis, using X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques (XAS/XRD) in combination with other capabilities available at ALBA.
  • Engage in projects and collaborations of the transversal research program of the section (for example on energy storage and/or catalysis) at internal, national and European level.
Requirements
  • Hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science or similar disciplines.
  • This position is reserved for those candidates having the legal status of person with disabilities, with a degree of disability equal or greater than 33%.
Selection Process

The selection will be carried out through the competition-opposition system. The assessment of the CV in the competition phase will be scored up to 40 points, which will consider the following aspects:

  • Scientific and technical experience in XAS and XRD techniques.
  • Publication record in a scientific field like catalysis, energy storage or environmental sciences with strong emphasis in XAS/XRD results.

The best rated candidates will be invited to an interview where their technical competence, knowledge, skills and professional experience linked to the position will be assessed.
