The successful candidate will belong to the end station engineering section of Photon Factory (PF, SR facility). The beamlines at the PF are currently classified into 10 method groups, and the candidate will be in charge of beamlines that are utilized mainly for X-ray optics and imaging measurements (BL-3C, 14B, 14C, 20B, AR-NE7A).

This section promotes the sophistication of beamline end-stations including experimental devices and the development of measurement techniques, aiming to create new application research utilizing the features of synchrotron radiation. The candidate will promote these activities and joint usage at the X-ray optics and imaging beamlines, in collaboration with the light-source-accelerator (KEK ACCL 6th) division staff, as well as beamline scientists and engineers. The science field in the X-ray optics and imaging beamlines is wide, from material science to life science and medical applications, and we are looking for a researcher who is willing to contribute to the development of synchrotron radiation science from a broad perspective. In addition, X-ray optics is indispensable as a fundamental elemental technology for synchrotron radiation beamlines, and the candidate is also expected to play a pivotal role in the development and sophistication of new measurement methods utilizing X-ray optics in the next facility project currently under consideration at the Photon Factory.
