Postdoctoral Researchers Physics & Engineering

Employment: Full-time permanent

Work model: Hybrid (approximately 1 day/week home office; fully remote is not possible)

Muxon is a small globally active recruitment agency and is conducting this search on behalf of our partner an innovative deep-tech company developing next-generation active muon imaging technologies for industrial scientific and medical applications.

Combining particle physics laser-plasma acceleration advanced detector systems and artificial intelligence the company is developing solutions for high-resolution imaging and automated inspection with applications across industries such as aerospace energy security and healthcare.

The company is expanding its research and engineering capabilities and is looking for postdoctoral researchers from different scientific and technical backgrounds to join its international interdisciplinary team.

The opportunities cover three interconnected areas:

Accelerator & Beamline Physics

Particle capture and transport beam optics radiation shielding magnet engineering and simulation-based optimisation of accelerator systems.

Laser-Plasma Acceleration & Computational Physics

Laser-plasma accelerator development particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations computational modelling numerical optimisation and high-performance computing.

Scientific Machine Learning & Advanced Imaging

Tomographic reconstruction particle tracking physics-informed machine learning uncertainty quantification and advanced computational imaging.

Specific requirements naturally vary depending on the research area and position. However the common baseline is:

• A PhD in Physics Engineering Computational Science or a closely related discipline.
• At least one year of postdoctoral research experience in a relevant scientific or technical field.
• A strong academic or research background with practical experience related to at least one of the areas described above.
• The ability to approach complex scientific and technical challenges with analytical thinking and an independent hands-on mindset.
• Full professional proficiency in English.
• Willingness to relocate to Germany and work in a primarily on-site environment with approximately one day of home office per week.

Candidates are not expected to cover all the research areas. We welcome specialists with different backgrounds whose expertise aligns with one or more of the companys research and development activities.

• Technical Ownership: Autonomy and responsibility in a small specialised team with the opportunity to shape core technologies.
• Cutting-Edge Infrastructure: Access to advanced particle beamlines high-performance computing resources and specialised simulation environments.
• Real-World Impact: The opportunity to translate scientific research into practical hardware and commercially relevant technologies.
• Research Network: Collaboration with leading research institutions and industry partners.
• Equity Participation: A substantial equity package and a direct stake in the companys long-term success.
• Relocation Support: Assistance with international relocation and visa procedures if needed.
• 30 days of annual leave and a permanent employment contract.

The company combines scientific ambition with an entrepreneurial hands-on approach. Its small interdisciplinary teams value independent thinking open communication rapid experimentation and shared responsibility.
