Summer work- Survey, Alignment and Mechanical stability

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 40 000 students and 7 600 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.


MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.



SAM (Survey, Alignment and Mechanical stability) is part of the engineering groups at MAX IV.

The team has four engineers. At MAX IV, the requirement in terms of alignment and stability tends to be high, and provide a challenge to achieve. The SAM team works with the machine and the beamlines in providing the necessary support for optimal results, in the field of survey, alignment and stability. We are now looking for two Summer workers.

Tasks
The Summer worker will be an assistant within the SAM team and  participate in the 2020 summer shut down activities; survey of network in different parts of MAX IV machine using laser tracker, alignment and realignment of components in MAX IV machine and beamlines. The work requires focus, patience and attention to details. The tasks are hands-on and involve being able to work in tight space.

Qualifications
The applicant must have studied at least one year in an engineering degree. Practical experience of working with accelerators or equipment related to synchrotron light research is a merit. English speaking and understanding is required.

Time period
Week 27 and ends week 33 (both included)

On call services may apply in the future.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset. We kindly decline all sales and marketing contacts.
