Tim Salditt

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 sample preparation instrumentation application benchmarks in collaboration with medical partners The position is part of a collaborative research environment in which the exact project scope is shaped by the candidate’s profile, aptitude, and the needs of ongoing collaborative projects and third-party funding sources. The advert indicates an interdisciplinary setting linking X-ray physics , biomedical imaging , and medically oriented applications. The position is associated with Tim Salditt at Göttingen.

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.
