Deadline: 09 March 2026
Ref: DB/26/6 **_Background_** **_Beamline / Project / Activity description_** Diffraction and Projection Imaging (DiProI) is one of the five beamlines operating in the EUV/soft X-ray spectral range at the FERMI seeded free-electron laser (FEL). The end station enables scattering and diffraction experiments in both transmission and reflection geometries, fully exploiting the FEL’s high transverse and longitudinal coherence, variable polarization, and wavelength tunability. The scientific activities of the beamline are primarily focused on ultrafast spin dynamics, as well as on the development of advanced scattering and imaging methodologies that leverage the unique capabilities of the FERMI FEL. DiProI is equipped with a non-collinear split-and-delay unit for optically probed four-wave-mixing experiments, along with dedicated instrumentation for ptychographic imaging using spiral zone plates to generate beams carrying orbital angular momentum.Comprehensive information about the beamline and scientific main achievements are available at:
**_Job description_** **_Qualifications_** A solid background in at least one of the following fields, supported by a publication record commensurate with career advancement, is required: - Coherent diffraction imaging or holography or small-angle X-ray scattering.
- Characterization and preparation of low dimensional quantum systems.
- Time-resolved experiments with free electron lasers or conventional laser sources. Any of the following will be considered as an additional asset (please indicate relevant publications or thesis):



- Research experience in the fields of nonlinear optics, or transport phenomena, or magnetism dynamics, or time-resolved X-ray photon spectroscopy.
- Experience in the construction/development of instrumentation used in time-resolved experiments at conventional laser source and/or in large scale facilities.
- Experience in low temperature and high magnetic field set-ups.
- Demonstrated ability in programming and data processing, particularly in Python or MATLAB, including interfacing of instruments.
- Demonstrated ability in data processing and analysis. Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, together with the ability to interact with the facility staff and international users at all levels, and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Good oral and written communication skills in English are essential.
