PhD positions: Physics, X-ray and neutron scattering

Candidates should have good communication skills, an interest in detail and motivation to familiarize themselves with new subject areas. Both working independently and working in a team, e.g. during the measurement campaigns, is particularly demanding. For the project with a focus on machine learning / AI, we also welcome applications from candidates with a focus on computational physics.

 

The positions offered provide access to challenging and interdisciplinary projects integrated into large national and European research consortia such as the DAPHNE (DAta for PHoton and Neutron Experiments) NFDI consortium. The group offers well-equipped laboratories, a highly collaborative international environment and membership of the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science", which is funded by the DFG and is located at the University of Tübingen. Students in the group receive excellent training and supervision and the opportunity to conduct research at large-scale international facilities (such as synchrotron and neutron sources) for all the projects mentioned. Details of the research activities as well as publications and background information are available on the group website:

Applications should be accompanied by a cover letter describing motivation, skills and any special achievements. Furthermore, a CV and a transcript of records should be added. The positions are to be filled immediately. Please send your application in one PDF file to softmatter@ifap.uni-tuebingen.de

The University of Tübingen has around 28,000 students and more than 500 years of academic tradition. It has a national status of excellence and is one of the top 100 universities in the world.
