Research Associate (Grade 6) or Research Fellow (Grade 7) in Synchrotron X-Ray Computed Tomography
Applications are invited for experts in synchrotron X-ray tomographic (CT) techniques to join ‘Manufacturing by Design’ (MbD), a 5-year, EPSRC-funded International Centre to Centre (IC2C) collaboration project which brings together the EPSRC-funded National Research Facility for Lab X-ray CT (NXCT) with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and several partners in academia and industry. Our aim is to shine new light on manufacturing processes and products through developing best-in class 3D imaging. Specifically we will exploit and further develop new and upgraded beamlines at the ESRF (BM18, ID15A and ID19) to achieve a step change in the 3D imaging resolution in real components, and the changes in their micro- and macro- structure with time both during their manufacture and in service.
We invite applications for a Research Fellow (Grade 7) or Research Associate (Grade 6) to join the team dependent on experience. The post will be located within the Structure of Materials group at the ESRF, France and is available as soon as possible, fixed term to 31st March 2027. The post holder will focus on helping to develop the instrumentation, as well as the integration of environmental rigs for time lapse experiments. The appointed candidate will have expertise in handling, analysing and visualising the very large 3D datasets that BM18 (large 3D volumes), ID15A (multimodal) and ID19 (time lapse sequences) will provide.
The post holder will develop their own core research themes, and collaboratively facilitate experiments performed by visiting research teams. The Research Fellow will also coordinate the Manufacturing by Design activities at the ESRF and across the collaborating institutions.
