Established in October 2020, the Center for Transformative Science at ShanghaiTech University undertakes construction tasks for the Shanghai High Repetition Rate XFEL and Extreme Light Facility (SHINE). Drawing on advanced large-scale scientific facilities, the Center harnesses the high repetition rate, ultrahigh brightness, femtosecond pulses, and high coherence of hard X-ray free-electron lasers to address major scientific questions through interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of physical and life sciences.

The Coherent Diffraction

Endstation for Single Molecules and Particles (CDS) develops experimental methods for investigating biological macromolecules, functional nanomaterials, and crystalline and amorphous particulate systems. These methods include ultrafast X-ray imaging, ultrafast X-ray scattering, serial crystallography, and time-resolved measurements using pump-probe and sample mixing and delivery approaches. The endstation aims to probe microscopic structures and ultrafast dynamics with high spatial and temporal resolution.

It combines versatile sample delivery systems, adaptable sample environments, and advanced data acquisition and analysis techniques to support research across these fields. We invite applications for one Beamline Scientist position to develop coherent diffraction imaging methods and associated experimental instrumentation and key components in response to the evolving scientific needs of the user community.
