DTU Tenure Track Researcher in X-Ray Tomographic Imaging Experiments and Data Analysis at DanMAX, MAX IV DTU Compute

Are you passionate about tomographic image analysis and ready to contribute to cutting-edge materials science

We are looking for a researcher to join the DanMAX team at MAX IV in Lund Sweden focusing on experimental 3D X-ray imaging and data analysis.

DanMAX is a Danish-funded materials science beamline at MAX IV one of the worlds most advanced synchrotron light sources. With its high-brilliance X-ray beam DanMAX offers excellent phase contrast imaging capabilities and enables unique experiments across fields ranging from engineering materials to biology. DanMAX is also besides imaging designed for X-ray diffraction experiments including 2D and 3D resolved techniques like scanning µXRDXRF and XRD-CT. To ensure these experiments lead to high-impact science were seeking a candidate who can bridge beamline operations and advanced image analysis.

Responsibilities and qualifications
You will become part of the DanMAX beamline team and work closely with users supporting both experiments and data analysis. The user support will occasionally include odd hours and weekends/holidays. You will also help further develop our in-house tomographic reconstruction pipeline reconBlazer and contribute to building streamlined standardized analysis workflows.

You will be employed by the Section for Visual Computing at DTU Compute but will be stationed at MAX IV in Lund Sweden. Through the QIM Centera collaboration between DTU Lund University and the University of Copenhagenyou will also be part of a strong network of researchers working on X-ray image analysis across institutions. We expect you to collaborate with other QIM researchers and regularly visit DTU Compute and the 3D Imaging Center at DTU. Through your work at the beamline you will also interact with other MAX IV groups and support teams at MAX IV.

We expect you to engage in research and development at DanMAX collaborating with the beamline team. Building on the analysis tools and experience already established we expect that you will contribute with analysis that leads to standardized analysis pipelines and procedures that will ensure that the time from experiment to results is short. Hereby DanMAX impacts the field of tomographic research through fast publications of the latest experimental results.

This position offers an excellent foundation for a career in 3D imaging at either universities large-scale research infrastructure or the private sector.

Your primary tasks will be to:

• Be an active member of the DanMAX beamline team supporting users with experiment planning execution and data analysis.
• Further develop and maintain our tomographic reconstruction and processing pipeline reconBlazer.
• Carry out independent research in 3D image analysis using data from full-field X-ray imaging experiments at DanMAX.
• Collaborate with QIM researchers and help align the development of new image analysis methods with the needs of beamline experiments.
• Take part in advising MAX IVon infrastructure requirements for tomography reconstruction and analysis.

To perform these tasks we expect you to have:

• A strong background in X-ray tomography (synchrotron or lab-based) or other 3D imaging techniques.
• Solid programming skills particularly in Python and experience with image analysis and visualization tools.
• Familiarity with deep learning approaches for segmentation and data processing.
• A collaborative mindset and strong communication skillsyou enjoy working with an international team of both scientists technicians and software developers.
• Ambition to help shape the future of tomography at DanMAX and contribute to impactful user-driven science.
• Sufficient technical skills to operate both software and hardware at the beamline

Formal Qualifications:

• You must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent)

You must contribute to the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages and in time are expected to master both.

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Research experience
• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research vision and potential
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership collaboration and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.
