Job Summary

This Postdoctoral position within the Faculty of Electrical, Information, and Media Engineering at the University of Wuppertal focuses on the prestigious ERC DIRECTS project. The successful candidate will lead self-directed research in THz light-field imaging, establishing a novel framework that spans theory, simulation, and experimental validation. Key responsibilities include developing efficient 3D reconstruction algorithms using parametric or implicit representations, exploring physics-informed methods, and extending these techniques to Hz-MIMO systems. This role is ideal for a researcher looking to work at the intersection of high-frequency engineering and advanced computational imaging. The position offers a highly collaborative international environment, flexible working hours, and the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in Terahertz technology. Located at a research-oriented campus, the role provides a platform for significant academic growth and professional development through to September 2026.
