The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France. Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics. Supported by 19 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity. The Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade of the ESRF has led to a significant increase in the acquisition speed and the amount of data which must be processed and analysed by the end users. It is therefore essential to provide advanced tools to enhance the acquisition and data analysis strategies and provide online (live during experiments) feedback to the ESRF users., The ESRF is a landmark for fundamental and innovation-driven research, providing scientists from all over the world with the most brilliant X-rays to reveal the structure of materials and the mechanisms of life, down to atomic resolution. Why work for us For more than 30 years, the ESRF has enabled major scientific breakthroughs in the understanding of living and condensed matter. The Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS), the ESRF's 4th generation high-energy synchrotron, is opening new vistas for X-ray science. EBS provides a growing community of scientists with unique facilities to tackle the complex global challenges facing our society. As a leader in the field of synchrotron science and technology, scientific and technical interdisciplinarity are at the core of the ESRF's success. Training and development Our unique and vibrant setting appeals to early-career scientists, engineers and technical staff, allowing them to train and develop their scientific and technical abilities. This fertile environment drives the transfer of expertise to other research projects, to industry and to society. We dedicate a significant part of our yearly budget to training staff. Our human resources policy encourages internal mobility and many of our staff members have the opportunity to change jobs during their career. Graduate schemes The ESRF supports many initiatives and public events aimed at sharing knowledge of science and engaging with a diverse range of audiences, including high-school students and younger children. The ESRF offers educational programmes for students of all levels. Each year, the HERCULES European School, the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS), and the International Summer Student Programme organized jointly with the Institut Laue-Langevin, offer introductory lectures and specialized courses, practical sessions, tutorials and visits to other European research facilities. What we are looking for We are looking for passionate and curious individuals who are eager to collaborate in an eminently international open environment. We welcome people who want to contribute to a better understanding of the world around us and to inspire and drive progress. We welcome people in many different disciplines (e.g. science, engineering, management, administration) who contribute through their diversity and professional skills to push the frontiers of science., Grenoble, France Number of employees 700+ staff members; several hundred on scientist, graduate and student contracts Main areas of research The ESRF has defined seven EBS Science goals, in line with UNESCO's objectives for sustainable development and with the global challenges identifed by the EU's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme: * Health innovation, overcoming diseases and pandemics * Materials for tomorrow's innovative and sustainable industry * Clean energy transition, sustainable energy storage and clean hydrogen technologies * Planetary research and geoscience * Environmental and climatic challenges * Bio-based economy and food security * Humanity and world cultural heritage
