As a University of Excellence, Universität Hamburg is one of the strongest research universities in Germany. As a flagship university in the greater Hamburg region, it nurtures innovative, cooperative contacts to partners within and outside academia. It also provides and promotes sustainable education, knowledge, and knowledge exchange locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter invites applications for a RESEARCH ASSOCIATE FOR THE PROJECT “cluster of excellence 'CUI: Advanced imaging of Matter' - X-ray holographic microscopy and imaging in extremes” - SALARY LEVEL 13 TV-L -

The position in accordance with Section 28 subsection 3 of the Hamburg higher education act (Hamburgisches Hochschulgesetz, HmbHG) commences as soon as possible.

Responsibilities:
Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

Specific Duties:
We are developing X-ray holographic microscopy for the imaging of systems as diverse as biological cells and nanoparticles involved in catalysis processes at resolutons approaching 1 nm. We have many challenges to overcome to reach this ambitious goal.

Your specific duties will be:

Develop novel wavefront measurement method based on ptychography, phase retrival and projection holography using both coherent and incoherent x-ray sources
Develop novel x-ray optics for focusing and shaping x-rays
Apply x-ray optics for time-resolved microscopy
Participate in experiments at synchrotrons and XFEL facilities
