Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 40 000 students and 7 600 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light. As a national laboratory, MAX IV is operated in agreement with governmental regulations, and in compliance with major funders such as the Swedish Research Council (VR) and the Wallenberg Foundation. 250 people are currently employed at MAX IV Laboratory, and 16 beamlines are funded. The facility is in a ramp-up phase with 3 beamlines now receiving users and 13 more scheduled to be commissioned and built to receive users within the next few years. The facility is dimensioned for 25-28 beamlines.
The MAX IV Controls and IT team (KITS) deliver solutions to the whole MAX IV organisation in the areas of control system hardware, controls software applications, infrastructure and networking, information management and scientific software. This is a dynamic and highly challenging environment and requires close collaboration with the staff in order to understand the needs and be effective in forming solutions. We are around 50 people in total who work in 5 domains in a well organised and agile way. We hold values of lean management, knowledge spread, user autonomy, continuous improvement and flexibility as guiding principles for our work.
Motivation
Are you the new Data Acquisition Engineer that will boost research potential of the scientists?
MAX IV is continuously increasing its performance and the KITS group needs a dedicated focus on the data acquisition system to exploit the full capabilities of the synchrotron light.
Motivation
Are you the new Data Acquisition Engineer that will boost research potential of the scientists?
MAX IV is continuously increasing its performance and the KITS group needs a dedicated focus on the data acquisition system to exploit the full capabilities of the synchrotron light. In this position you will bridge science, engineering and the state of the art X-Ray detectors and electron energy analysers to exploit the full capabilities of Sweden's new flagship laboratory.
As our detector specialist you understand the detector technology from the perspective of physics, software component, electronic design and IT infrastructure and how the data should be treated from the moment it is generated in the electronics to delivering valuable research data into storage.
In a cross functional position you will maintain a strong connection with all the scientists and the suppliers together with the Sample Environment and Detector Support (SEDS) groups. By leading the detector knowledge and collaboration within the KITS group you will increase the efficiency of our detector development by working in the early stages of the decision making.
By having close contact with the users you will have the opportunity to solve problems with new approaches, to be part of published work and to present results at international conferences.
This is the opportunity to join a trusted and open team where continuous improvement and mentorship is part of our DNA. In addition you will improve your technique and spread the knowledge on best practices.
Tasks
Develop solutions to integrate detectors and electron energy analysers in the data acquisition system with the support of KITS and SEDS teams
