Postdoctoral Fellow in 3D X-ray: The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our Computational X-Ray Imaging group and contribute to the advancement of 3D X-ray ptychography. This project focuses on the development of nanoscale 3D imaging techniques, particularly for biological specimens. As a member of our collaborative team, you will work on method and algorithm development, numerical simulations, and synchrotron experiments. The position is based at the Computational X-ray Imaging group (CXI) and involves close collaboration with colleagues at the cSAXS beamline of the Swiss Light Source.
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: 3D X-ray Ptychography
Location: Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD degree in physics, signal/image processing, engineering, or a similar natural science discipline.
- Strong knowledge in physics, signal/image processing, or related fields, with a keen interest in 3D X-ray ptychography.
- Ability to conduct independent research while thriving in a collaborative environment.
- Proficiency in coding, preferably in Matlab and Python.
- Comfortable working with complex datasets and making informed decisions.
- Experience in the analysis of large datasets, ptychography, and/or tomography is advantageous.
Job Description: As a Postdoctoral Fellow in 3D X-ray Ptychography, your responsibilities will include:
- Advancing and developing 3D X-ray ptychography techniques for nanoscale imaging of representative volumes, with a focus on biological specimens.
