Postdoctoral Research Scientist (Physics) - X-ray Imaging | Physiker (m/w/d)
Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)
Job Summary
The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) is seeking a highly qualified Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the X-ray Imaging division in Berlin-Steglitz. This role is crucial for advancing the BMWE-funded LuFo project "Sonrisa," focusing on advanced computational tomography (CT) analysis. Day-to-day responsibilities include leading a work package on workflow development for zone-based CT analysis, conducting and evaluating micro-CT measurements, and developing software algorithms for quantitative analysis of image datasets (e.g., detecting volume changes or particle morphology). The ideal candidate must hold a PhD in Physics, possess deep expertise in CT and experimental imaging, and be proficient in programming relevant languages (such as Python or C++), including experience with AI-based models for image segmentation. This challenging position offers the opportunity to work within a high-caliber network, supervise junior staff, and actively contribute to national and international research publications and conferences.
