PhD Student in Low-Energy Electron Holography | PhD Student in low-energy electron holography

Job Summary

The successful candidate will join a cutting-edge research team focused on developing and applying low-energy electron holography, a novel imaging technique. This PhD project involves hands-on experimental physics, including building a coherent low-energy electron microscope and performing detailed sample preparation to record holograms. A core component of the role is the advanced numerical reconstruction of atomic structures from the recorded data, specifically targeting 2D crystals (like graphene) and non-crystalline samples such as single proteins. This interdisciplinary position requires a Master's degree in physics or engineering, strong foundational knowledge in solid-state physics and quantum mechanics, coupled with programming skills in tools like Matlab or Python. This role offers systematic on-the-job training, personal development opportunities, and the chance to present groundbreaking results at international conferences and publish scientific papers.
