【Detailed description of the job】

The successful candidate will belong to the beam line engineering section of the Photon Factory (PF, SR facility). The section at the PF consists of 8 teams of experts, and the candidate will play a central role in the advancement of various beamline control systems as a member of the "Control Systems Team".

This section promotes the upgrade, development and standardization of the beamline transport channels that guides synchrotron radiation to experimental stations. The candidate will promote the development of not only the beamline control system but also the control systems for the upstream accelerators and downstream experimental stations including big data management, processing, and analysis, in collaboration with members of the Photon Factory, the Synchrotron Radiation Science Divisions 1 and 2, and the Accelerator Division 6, as well as with other facilities in Japan and abroad. The project will promote research and development of next-generation control systems that will realize efficiency and performance improvement of the entire synchrotron radiation experiment from the viewpoint of unified control systems. Since SR facilities cover a wide range of science fields, the candidate is also required to understand the background science, grasp the needs, and capture the seeds for development of the control systems. We are looking for a researcher who is willing to contribute to the development of synchrotron radiation science from a broad perspective, though the main task is control system development.
