The European XFEL will make available X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and others. Located in the Hamburg area, Germany, it will comprise scientific instruments for a wide range of experimental techniques. Construction of the European XFEL is underway, its commissioning is scheduled for 2014. The European XFEL GmbH is an international non-profit company with DESY as the main shareholder.
This facility will generate photon beams in the hard X-ray energy range. This radiation is produced in undulator systems (magneto mechanic devices) with lengths of 200 m and more, which use forefront technology. A central role will be given to the construction of a magnetic laboratory, which is needed to tune the magnetic properties of the undulator systems to their design values. For this lab we are looking for a:
