Computational Imaging Scientist Full-time

Computational Imaging Scientist

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world's top universities. The University has around 46 000 students and 8 500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

The MAX IV Laboratory has created a paradigm shift in accelerator science by developing the first fourth-generation electron storage ring. This has set a new standard for the availability of coherent X-ray beams and boosted ultrahigh-resolution imaging capabilities.

MAX IV Laboratory at Lund University is now searching for a computational imaging scientist for the construction and management of an X-ray Multibeam Imaging Instrument at CoSAXS beamline within the SSF-funded project: “X-ray Hierarchical 3D Nanoscopy for large specimens”.

Your role/tasks:

• Main: the development of a PtyPy multibeam ptychography high-throughput data processing framework
• Supporting the design and construction of the multibeam ptychography instrument in collaboration with the CoSAXS beamline team and the Technical division (IT, CAD, PLC, etc.)
• Planning and execution of commissioning and experimental beamtimes
• Writing high quality scientific papers and presenting your work at conferences

Your profile:

• PhD in physics or related discipline
• At least 4 years of PostDoctoral experience
• R&D Project administration experience
• Track record of 1st authorship in papers in high-impact journals (IF>6)
• Experience with development of the PtyPy software
• Good understanding of Fourier optics
• GPU computing experience
• A background in Multibeam Ptychography is highly desirable

As a person, you are performance-oriented – setting high goals for yourself and others. You will need a talent for leading and motivating others, fostering commitment and participation of the CoSAXS beamline team and scientific collaborators to reach the project goals.

Your team:

You will report to the project leader, Dr. Mikhail Lyubomirskiy. You will be embedded into the Imaging group of the Science division, comprising the SoftiMAX and NanoMAX beamlines. Your daily tasks will also involve working with the CoSAXS beamline team, as well as with people in the Technical division.
