About this position
This PhD opportunity at the University of Göttingen is based at the Institut für Röntgenphysik and focuses on coherent X-ray optics and related imaging methods. The project develops, implements, and applies X-ray optics for experiments using partially coherent X-ray radiation at both synchrotron/FEL facilities and laboratory micro-CT sources.
The research is broad and can be tailored to the selected candidate’s profile and interests. Possible directions include X-ray optical physics, instrumentation, diffraction data analysis, and computational imaging, as well as application-oriented benchmarks in soft matter physics and biophysics. The work also connects to biomolecular structure analysis and the development of new imaging approaches that exploit partially coherent X-ray radiation.
The position is advertised as part of a collaborative environment and may be shaped by ongoing projects and third-party funding sources. The selected PhD researcher will therefore join a setting that combines experimental methods, imaging development, and interdisciplinary applications in X-ray science.
