About this position
The Technical University of Denmark is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary project in tomographic microscopy for biological and medical applications within DTU Physics and the 4DMAP section.
The project advances nano-scale and 3D X-ray microscopy for life-science research, focusing on low-contrast biological samples. The postdoctoral researcher will design, develop and apply advanced X-ray imaging methods that combine experimental and computational physics.
A central objective is to demonstrate phase-contrast three-dimensional imaging at micron and sub-micron resolution using both laboratory X-ray microscopes at DTU and synchrotron-based tomographic scanners. The work will involve clinically relevant tissue samples and assess the benefits of optimized X-ray phase-contrast imaging compared with analytical tools used in clinical practice and biology laboratories.
The researcher will work in close collaboration with physicists and partners from the medical and biological domains. The position is embedded in a highly collaborative research environment that uses advanced measurements and simulations across multiple length and time scales, including work at international facilities such as synchrotrons and free-electron lasers.
Additional opportunities may include teaching, advising Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis projects, and contributing to proposal writing. The research environment is based at DTU Physics in Kgs. Lyngby and offers interaction with the 4DMAP materials-physics community.
