Join the Cluster of Excellence “BlueMat: Water-Driven Materials” (www.tuhh.de/bluemat) and contribute to one of Europe’s most exciting research initiatives. Collaborate with a dynamic, interdisciplinary team that combines science, sustainability, and technology to create a better future. Help shape the next generation of sustainable materials inspired by nature’s most powerful resource: water.

In the Complex Liquids team at DESY we are looking for a for a RESEARCH ASSOCIATE to conduct research within project CA Imaging as part of the BlueMat Cluster of Excellence.

In the PhD project the candidate will develop X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) further for applications within BlueMat. The recent improvements of detector technology and the ongoing upgrade of synchrotron radiation sources (such as the transition to PETRA IV) will boost the XPCS technique towards molecular time scales. This project will therefore apply XPCS to several cases in BlueMat and support the development of MHz and ultrafast XPCS at European XFEL.
