For our EXPLODE group we are looking for a
This PhD project is funded by the BMFTR as part of the \"EXPLODE\" (Experimental X-ray Platforms for Optimisation and Diagnosis of inertial fusion Energy) research group and is focused on developing X-ray imaging diagnostics together with the HED- HiBEF instrument. The BMFTR Project code is 13F1044 for the project \"Experimentelle Röntgenplattformen zur Optimierung und Diagnose der Trägheitsfusion\" (EXPLODE).
- Contribute to the development and application of X-ray imaging methods for the investigation of laser-driven, fusion-relevant targets.
- Analyse experimental data and help establish robust, well-documented workflows for the evaluation of X-ray imaging measurements.
- Support the preparation, fabrication and characterisation of nanostructured targets for experiments.
- Assist with the planning, preparation and execution of experiments at European XFEL and other facilities, including beamtime applications.
- Work with colleagues and external collaborators on experimental studies, simulations, data analysis and interpretation.
- Present results through internal reports, conferences and scientific publications, and a doctoral thesis
The following qualification would be beneficial:
- Previous experience with large-scale user facility experiments
- Large scale data analysis/parallel computing
- Familiarity with x-ray diagnostics (imaging, diffraction, scattering techniques)
- Practical experience with laboratory work: microscopy, materials characterisation or nanostructured materials
