The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is developing its world-leading program of coherent x-ray diffractive imaging and scattering and intends to build an undulator facility devoted exclusively to these techniques. There is an exciting opportunity for a new postdoctoral fellow to conduct experiments both at the ALS and at novel x-ray free electron laser sources and to develop experimental and theoretical methods for x-ray coherent imaging and scattering. The new postdoctoral fellow will join a small world-class team conducting prototype experiments, analyzing data, reconstructing images, and designing future facilities. This position reports to the Coherent Imaging lead scientist within the Experimental Systems Group.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop experimental and theoretical methods for x-ray coherent imaging, holography and general scattering.
- Communicate work results via reports and oral presentations, including participation in meetings, reviews, conferences, and publications in refereed journals.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Ph.D. in Optics, Physics or Engineering within the last 2 years
- Experience with complex experimental apparatuses such as synchrotron beamlines and/or optical measurements
- Familiarity with signal processing (phase retrieval, compressive sensing) and/or familiarity with experimental techniques of synchrotron radiation research is advantageous.
Note - This is a one-year term appointment with the possibility of renewal after one year based on demonstrated performance and availability of funds.
