Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Core-loss Spectroscopy

Location: Department of Materials, Parks Road, Oxford

Contract: Fixed term until 30 June 2026

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in core-loss spectroscopy. This full-time, fixed-term post is funded by the EPSRC and available until 30 June 2026. 

This post holder will develop methods for interpreting experimental core-loss spectroscopy from transition metal ions. In addition to K-edges, they will interpret L­2,3­-edge spectra which is challenging with conventional electronic structure modelling approaches. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental groups in Oxford Materials and industrial partners working on energy-related materials, including catalysts. This is an exciting and challenging role which will contribute to the development of open source software. 

All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on 23 May 2024. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application.
