Job Description:
The International Center for Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) is established in Jordan, under the auspices of UNESCO. Its mission is to promote international collaboration in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region using synchrotron light for basic and applied research in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, environmental and medical investigations, archaeological studies and other research areas of relevance to the region. Seven Beamlines have been approved for the first operational phase of the third generation 2.5 GeV Electron storage ring of SESAME. These are:

1. Protein crystallography
2. X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) and X-Ray Fluorescence(XRF)
3. Infrared Spectro-microscopy
4. Soft X-ray Photoemission and Photo-absorption Spectroscopy
5. Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS)/Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering(WAXS)
6. Powder Diffraction
7. Extreme UltraViolet (EUV).

In 2006, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and SESAME. One of the results is a Capacity Building
Project in the use and operation of SESAME that aims inter alia at enhancing the skills
of potential SESAME operators and users in different fields of operation of the SESAME
Laboratory. In the context of this Capacity Building project, IAEA fellowships, through
SESAME, are available for young scientists from SESAME Members to allow them to carry
out research on any of the aforementioned seven beamlines in well-established
synchrotron radiation laboratories around the world. All applications received will be
reviewed by a team consisting of SESAME and IAEA officials and the final selection is made
by IAEA.

Application Deadline 10 October 2010
