Ph.D. Positions in Coherent X-ray Optics, Imaging and Biomolecular Structure Analysis University of Göttingen in Germany

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 , instrumen...

At the Institut für Röntgenphysik at the University of Göttingen , two PhD positions are available in biophysics with a strong focus on 3D biomedical imaging by X-ray phase contrast tomography . The project explores the use of partially coherent X-ray radiation at both synchrotron and laboratory μCT sources. Depending on the successful candidate’s background and interests, the work may centre on one or more of the following areas: algorithmic design and phase retrieval X-ray optical physics samp...

European XFEL is offering a postdoctoral scientist position for attosecond generation in its FEL Physics Group in the Hamburg area, Germany. The successful candidate will join the AttoSASE project within the wider Attosecond strategy program and work on improving the delivery, reliability, and generation capabilities of attosecond pulses at SASE3 and SASE2 in the soft and hard X-ray ranges. The role focuses on R&D in free-electron laser physics and includes simulation studies on shaping radiatio...

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join Iliya Stoev’s research group through a recently awarded DFG Emmy Noether project, “DNA hydrogel-based sensors for thermally responsive detection of mechanical signals.” The project investigates sequence-programmable DNA hydrogels as smart biosensing materials that respond to temperature and detect mechanical signals. The research combines DNA nanotechnology, biosensing, biophysics, materials science, physics, an...
