Researcher in ion physics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Duties
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University invites applications for a researcher position in ion physics. A successful applicant is expected to work in basic and applied research within ion physics. The candidate is expected to employ keV and MeV ion beams as both analytical tool and means for materials modification. Engagement in developing advanced data analysis is expected. Applied research conducted mainly for ultra-thin film systems of relevance in electronics, optics, for hard coatings and in related interdisciplinary projects can be part of the working duties. Taking over responsibilities in collaboration projects with industry is anticipated. Supervision of undergraduate and PhD-student projects can be part of the working duties. 

The major ion beam facilities at the Tandem laboratory at Uppsala University comprise of a 5 MV tandem accelerator, a 200 kV MICADAS compact radiocarbon dating system, ion implantation facilities with three beam lines as well as a system for low-energy ion scattering. 

Requirements
The holder of a position as researcher must have a PhD degree in physics, engineering or equivalent.   Experience using ion beams with keV or MeV ion energies in fundamental and applied research is mandatory. Well-documented research experience using ion beams and handling ion beam instrumentation for material research, fundamental studies or materials modifications is expected. It is expected that the successful candidate has the personal capabilities necessary to fully carry out the duties of the appointment. 

Additional qualifications
A good fundamental understanding of ion-solid interaction is advantageous.
