PhD student - Microstructural Dynamics of Fusion Targets (f/m/d) - 29,25 hours/week

Doctorat / PhD Profil chercheur : First Stage Researcher (R1) Type de contrat : Temporary Date limite de candidature : 18 Nov 2026 - 23:59 (Europe/Berlin) Programme UE : Other EU programme Référence : 13F1044 Département : EXPLODE Domaine : Physics

This PhD project is funded by the BMFTR as part of the "EXPLODE" (Experimental X-ray Platforms for Optimisation and Diagnosis of inertial fusion Energy) research group and is focused on developing X-ray imaging diagnostics together with the HED- HiBEF instrument. The BMFTR Project code is 13F1044 for the project "Experimentelle Röntgenplattformen zur Optimierung und Diagnose der Trägheitsfusion" (EXPLODE). Contribute to the development and application of X-ray imaging methods for the investigation of laser-driven, fusion-relevant targets. Analyse experimental data and help establish robust, well-documented workflows for the evaluation of X-ray imaging measurements. Support the preparation, fabrication and characterisation of nanostructured targets for experiments. Assist with the planning, preparation and execution of experiments at European XFEL and other facilities, including beamtime applications. Work with colleagues and external collaborators on experimental studies, simulations, data analysis and interpretation. Present results through internal reports, conferences and scientific publications, and a doctoral thesis
