SESAME is the first synchrotron light source in the Middle East and neighbouring countries. It is located in Allan (Jordan). The Facility was officially inaugurated in May 2017. It consists of a 20 MeV Microtron, an 800 MeV Booster synchrotron and a 2.5 GeV electron storage ring. Five beamlines are in operation and hosting users. They are the BM02-IR (Infrared) spectromicroscopy beamline, BM08-XAFS/XRF (X-ray Absorption Fine Structure/X-ray Fluorescence) spectroscopy beamline, the ID09 - MS/XPD (Materials Science/X-ray Powder Diffraction) beamline, the ID10-BEATS (BEAmline for Tomography at SESAME) beamline, and the soft X-ray ID11L-HESEB (HElmholtz-SEsame Beamline) beamline. A sixth beamline, the Turkish X-ray PhotoElectron Spectroscopy beamline ID11R-TXPES is currently under construction. This suite of beamlines, from the eight planned for Phase I, allow world-class research in virtually all fields of science.
SESAME is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for the BM02-IR beamline, with a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or related field, with a maximum of 3 years of experience in relevant research from the date of PhD award. The successful candidate will work under the overall authority of the Scientific Director and the specific supervision of the IR beamline Principal Scientist.
