## About the Role

We are seeking a motivated researcher to work on a European-wide optics and metrology project. You will play a central part in coordinating tasks with a systematic study of contamination of X-ray optics, applying various cleanroom technologies to recover them to their original state., * PhD degree in Physics, Material science, or Semiconductor, or related fields

 * Strong background in surface physics and/or gas-solid heterogeneous catalysis systems.
 * Proven Expertise in characterisation methods in material and surface physics/chemistry
 * Hands-on experiences with experimental setup, chemical laboratory, vacuum technology and data analysis
 * Willingness to travel to partner institutes within Europe for knowledge exchange
 * Experiences with optical metrology (X-ray optics) or fabrication laboratory, is an asset

## Description

* Close collaboration and multidisciplinary work at EuXFEL as well as at the partner labs.
 * Establish physical characterisation processes before and after treatment of optical surfaces, using surface science and optical metrology technologies, such as phase-shifting micro-interferometry, AFM, SEM, Photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy, and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
 * Develop expertise in cleaning optics, removal of mirror coatings & refurbishments: determine the suitability of various methods to different types of contaminated coatings. Treatments may include: wet chemical processing and corrosive acid etchants, oxygen/ozone exposure, plasma treatment, or polymer film application.
 * Plan, coordinate and execute scientific experiments and measurements for each project task - either in-house or at collaborator facilities in Europe
 * Present project reports at meetings and conferences, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications
