Postdoc and PhD Positions in Electron Optics, Computational Imaging, and Surface Science Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

Two PhD positions are open at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Curious Beams Lab within the Microscopy and Instrumentation Techniques (MInT) cluster of the Department of Imaging Physics. The project, BEAMSurf: Diffractive Atomic-Scale Surface Imaging with Backscattered Electrons , is led by Dr. Georgios Varnavides and is funded by an ERC Starting Grant / EU project. The research aims to develop a new surface-sensitive diffractive microscope using coherent backscattered electrons ...

The position is part of BEAMSurf: Diffractive Atomic-Scale Surface Imaging with Backscattered Electrons , an ERC Starting Grant project led by Dr. Georgios Varnavides in the Curious Beams Lab within the Microscopy and Instrumentation Techniques (MInT) cluster, Department of Imaging Physics, Faculty of Applied Scie...

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity in Materials Science and Engineering focused on transmission electron microscopy of materials interfaces . The post is shared by Ricardo Castro , Department Chair and Professor at Lehigh University , and invites interested candidates to connect directly, especially if attending MS&T in Pittsburgh this week. This is a research-oriented postdoc for candidates with strong interests in ceramics , materials characterization , and electron microscopy-based a...

AMOLF invites applications for a four-year PhD position in optical metasurfaces controlling quantum electron wavepackets , based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with a planned start date of 1 December 2026. The project investigates fundamental interactions between high-energy electrons and extreme optical fields in a scanning electron microscope. Using photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM), the research will explore how electrons exchange energy with intense, strongly confined lig...

Postdoc opportunity at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Department of Applied Physics and Science Education, within the ERC-funded Cool T-ReX project. The project develops a unique pulsed ultracold electron source with exceptionally high transverse coherence and aims to demonstrate time-resolved protein crystallography using electrons instead of X-rays on a table-top setup. The postdoc will lead the implementation of serial electron diffraction (Serial ED) on the new setup, worki...
