PhD Opportunities in Experimental Physics in Luxembourg

This PhD project investigates deep tissue imaging with nonlinear microscopy and adaptive optics at the Institute of Biomedical Physics, Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria. The doctoral researcher will work with an adaptive-optics nonlinear microscope built around a high-power pulsed laser system. The research will focus on novel methods for correcting optical aberrations and light scattering in thick tissue, with the goal of extending imaging depth beyond the current state of the art. Appl...

This PhD project investigates whether Earth’s gravity can support autonomous navigation when Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are unavailable. The research will develop gravity-map matching methods for underwater and space vehicles, using local gravity variations as an independent reference for estimating position. You will develop and characterise gravimeters based on diamagnetic levitation, building on demonstrations of Earth-tide gravimetry and the OpToSpace payload. A central chall...

Experimental nuclear physics PhD project at Uppsala University focused on nuclear fission and gamma-ray emission. The doctoral researcher will join the Division of Applied Nuclear Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, based in the Ångström laboratory, and work within an internationally active group studying nuclear-reaction dynamics and fission through a combination of experiments and modelling. The project is embedded in a Nordic collaboration between Uppsala University and the Un...
