PhD Position in Experimental Physics: Pursue groundbreaking research in photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) with a PhD opportunity at TU Delft. The project focuses on developing an innovative X-ray photon-counting detector to enhance medical and industrial imaging capabilities.
PhD Position in Experimental Physics – Advanced Detector Development for Spectral Photon-Counting CT, Netherlands
Designation
PhD Candidate in Medical Physics & Technology
| Research Area | Location |
|---|---|
| Experimental Physics, Medical Imaging | TU Delft, Netherlands |
Eligibility/Qualification:
- MSc degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related discipline.
- Hands-on experimental experience in design, building, measurement, troubleshooting, and data analysis.
- Strong interest in imaging instrumentation, experimental physics, and hardware development.
- Motivation to publish and collaborate internationally.
Description:
This position is part of the EU-funded QuPIX project, which aims to revolutionize CT imaging through advanced detector technology. You’ll work on developing and validating a novel X-ray photon-counting detector using quantum-enhanced perovskite scintillators and silicon photomultipliers. The role entails designing, building, testing, and optimizing detector prototypes while collaborating with a diverse team of experts. The project emphasizes hardware development rather than image reconstruction.
Key Responsibilities:
- Prototype design and instrumentation development.
- Experimental characterization and data acquisition.
- Digital signal processing and theoretical modeling.
At TU Delft, you will join a collaborative and inclusive research environment dedicated to advancing medical imaging technologies.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit their application online by uploading the following documents:
- A motivation letter (1 page).
- A detailed CV highlighting relevant skills and experience.
- Academic transcripts and MSc diploma with graduation date.
- Summary of MSc thesis and any scientific output, if available.
Address applications to: Dennis Schaart (D.R.Schaart@tudelft.nl).
