Researcher within laser physics

Are you inspired working with applied research, development of new measurement systems and procedures? Do you have a curious and creative mind, eager to learn and to find new solutions across disciplines? We are now recruiting a researcher to our laboratory for length and dimensional metrology.

About us
As the National Metrology Institute of Sweden, RISE is responsible for the central quantities within the SI system.

The laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology is responsible for the realization of the SI-unit for length (the metre) and thereby offer traceability to industry and other parties. Our services include calibration of length standards, measurement of parts, training, and advice services. We also offer product evaluation, testing, research, and analysis within the area.

We are now looking for a researcher in the field of laser physics, to strengthen our team.

About the role
As a researcher at RISE, you will collaborate with dedicated experts in many fields of science and engineering. You will work with the conception, planning and execution of research and development projects, as well as contributing with your expertise in shorter industrial projects.

You are expected to take initiative and individual responsibility for the tasks at hand, but you are also part of a team, in close collaboration with your colleagues, including our experienced engineers and technicians in the lab. You will work closely with external project partners and industrial clients, as well as with colleagues in other parts of RISE.

The placement for the position is in Borås.

Who are you?
To be successful in the role we believe that you have a MSc or PhD in physics with experience from laser-based measurements and with a strong interest in applied research. You may have finished your studies recently, but additional experience is meriting. Experience with the field of optical frequency combs, laser interferometry, and laser spectroscopy is not a requirement but is considered a strong merit.

As a person you are well organized and have an interest in creating new business and projects, but also an ability to develop existing ones. You seek collaboration and enjoy working in and contributing to a team, but you are also comfortable working independently. You bring energy to the team and contribute actively to the development of a stimulating research environment.

You have excellent communication skills in English, preferably also in Swedish.

Welcome with your application!
The closing date for applications is 20/12 -22. Interviews may be conducted throughout the application period. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact Jörgen Spetz, Unit Director, +46-(0)10-516 53 78.

Våra fackliga företrädare är Lazaros Tsantaridis, SACO, 010 516 62 21 respektive Bertil Svensson, Unionen, 010-516 53 56.
