職務名稱：Post Doctoral Researcher in X-Ray Microscopy (10364)
系所/單位名稱：Rutherford Appleton Labs (RAL) on the Harwell Campus
申請人資格：
The Rosalind Franklin Institute (the Franklin) is a UK technology institute for life sciences, funded by the UK government through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). We work across disciplines, combining imaging tools with chemical and biological platforms to see life in new ways.
As a Post Doctoral Researcher at the Rosalind Franklin Institute, you will bring scientific knowledge and skills to deliver a specific research project and/or you will bring independent, creative science, or specific skills to a team delivering a project or program. Through this work, you will build scientific independence, develop new science and leadership skills, and establish a growing reputation externally.
The water window X-ray microscope project is an exciting new EPSRC-funded collaboration between the University of Southampton's School of Chemistry and Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), the Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI), and the Central Laser Facility (CLF) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories. The project will design and construct a lab-scale soft X-ray microscope for biological imaging using soft X-rays generated using ultrafast lasers and applying coherent diffractive imaging techniques.
The successful candidate will become part of a multidisciplinary team constructing a new laser laboratory at the Rutherford Appleton Labs (RAL) on the Harwell Campus, the site of the Franklin, the CLF, and also the Diamond synchrotron, and the Ada Lovelace Centre for scientific computing, all of whom are working in the area of coherent X-ray imaging. The project will use laser-generated coherent soft X-rays for imaging at spatial scales between electron microscopy (EM) and optical microscopy. The research team, based between the Franklin and Southampton, includes laser scientists, physicists, chemists, computer scientists and biologists all working to develop imaging techniques within a supportive and diverse environment.
聘期：Full time, 3 years fixed term contract.
薪資待遇：Whilst the role is a Postdoctoral Research level and requires candidates to hold a PhD/DPhil (or equivalent), we may consider candidates who are close to completion of their PhD/DPhil qualification, in which case the initial appointment will be made at £36,500 per annum (to be increased on completion of the PhD/DPhil qualification).
受理期間：2025年7月17日止 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy early before the closing date if enough applications are received.)
