Job opportunities
Are you interested to join our crew as a PhD student or postdoc?
We work on a leading position in x-ray microscopy. Our mission is the development and application of advanced x-ray microscopy, x-ray tomography and x-ray optics for the 10-nm scale characterization of the nanostructure, chemical nature, and composition of materials with high energy resolution.
Please ask for the possibility to cooperate with us without any commitment. Our potential is your competence.
