Before PET imaging, a radiotracer is injected into the patient to display metabolic processes in the body. At the Institute for Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-4), we are developing an innovative reconstruction algorithm and methods to correct factors impacting the quantitative accuracy of PET images. Our recent research has focused on dual-tracer PET imaging, in which two radiotracers are injected simultaneously, enabling two metabolic processes to be displayed at once. Dual-tracer PET imaging can provide new insights into neurological diseases. During image reconstruction, the signals of both tracers are separated. One challenge with dual-tracer PET is that the reconstructed images contain significant noise. As a doctoral researcher at our institute, you will develop and implement a new algorithm to reduce noise in dual-tracer PET imaging and improve the quantitative accuracy of dual-tracer PET scans.</p><h3>Your Job</h3><ul><li>Simulation of PET data using existing simulation packages.</li><li>Development of denoising algorithms and incorporation into PET image reconstruction</li><li>Data and image analysis.</li><li>Writing scientific publications and participating in international conferences.</li><li>Developing professional algorithm coding in C++, supported by specialised training (e.g. C++ courses).</li></ul><h3>Your Profile</h3><ul><li>Master's degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline</li><li>Object-oriented programming skills (ideally in Python and C++)</li><li>Excellent mathematical and data analytics skills</li><li>Ability to work independently and be self-motivated, but also have excellent teamwork skills</li><li>Experience in medical image processing is advantageous</li><li>Experience in C++ programming is advantageous</li><li>Fluency in English (spoken and written)</li></ul><h3>Our Benefits for You</h3><p>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

By administering specific radiotracers, PET enables the visualization and quantification of distinct physiological processes in the human body. However, clinical PET imaging has so far been limited to imaging the distribution of a single radiotracer per scan. In collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the PET department at the HZDR has launched a joint research project to evaluate the potential of dual-tracer PET imaging. This innovative approach enable the separation of two simultaneously acquired radiotracers and to provide two distinct images from a single PET acquisition. Within this project, we will jointly develop, adapt and implement advanced image reconstruction algorithms in our in-house reconstruction software to evaluate the feasibility of dual-tracer imaging on clinical PET scanners.

However, they place exceptionally high demands on existing and future laser technologies.</p><p>Given the complexity of such laser systems—with strongly nonlinear and coupled processes along the entire laser chain, from amplification and beam shaping to pulse modulation—the development of predictive, holistic simulation tools is essential.</p><p>At the core of LASE-FUSE is the development of a comprehensive simulation platform in the sense of a digital twin for a high-energy laser facility. This platform virtually maps the behavior of real laser systems and serves as a predictive tool for system analysis, optimization, and rapid testing of new laser concepts developed and evaluated within the project. The goal is to create a flexible framework that integrates all stages of the laser chain and provides a realistic representation of system dynamics.</p><p>The advertised position plays a central role in the development and integration of advanced numerical models for realistic simulation of high-energy laser systems within LASE-FUSE.</p><p><strong><span>Your Reponsibilities:</span></strong></p><ul><li>Further development of the simulation software <strong><span>OPOSSUM</span></strong> (https://github.com/opossum-labs/opossum) for modeling complete high-energy laser systems as a digital twin.</li><li>Integration and optimization of amplification and transport models for pulses/beams in complex laser architectures.</li><li>Implementation, maintenance, and further development of fusion-specific codes—for example, for spectrally incoherent pulses and focal zooming—developed in the context of LASE-FUSE PhD projects.</li><li>Implementation of realistic detector system models and interfaces for experimental benchmarks.</li><li>Design, construction, and support of experimental test setups to validate simulation approaches.</li><li>Data analysis for validation and benchmarking of optical simulation models.</li><li>Supervision and scientific mentoring of PhD students.</li><li>Close collaboration with internal project partners (group leaders, postdocs, PhDs) and external partners from research and industry.</li><li>Documentation and maintenance of developed codes in Git repositories.</li><li>Publication of results in scientific journals and at international conferences.</li></ul><p><strong><span>Your Profile:</span></strong></p><ul><li>PhD in Physics, ideally with a focus on laser physics, optics, photonics, or a related field.</li><li>Solid knowledge in numerical simulation, high-energy laser technologies, and experimental implementation.</li><li>Experience in the development and integration of scientific software.</li><li>Strong programming skills, ideally in Rust, Python, or C++.</li><li>Practical experience with optical laboratory systems desirable.</li><li>Independent, structured working style, as well as teamwork and communication skills.</li><li>Experience in supervising and mentoring junior researchers is advantageous.</li><li>Good command of English, both written and spoken; knowledge of German or willingness to acquire it is a plus.</li></ul><p><strong><span>We Offer:</span></strong></p><ul><li>Employment at GSI within the LASE-FUSE project, in close collaboration with national and international partners at FAIR and beyond.</li><li>A central role in further developing a digital twin for high-energy laser systems in the context of fusion.</li><li>Participation in a highly topical research area in laser-driven nuclear fusion.</li><li>Freedom to contribute your own scientific concepts and ideas within the project structure.</li><li>Opportunities for publication and participation in international conferences.</li><li>Close collaboration with leading research institutions and industrial partners in the field of fusion energy.</li><li>Flexible working conditions, including up to two days of remote work per week (depending on current tasks), and a good work–life balance.</li><li>Access to a unique experimental environment and modern research infrastructures at GSI/FAIR.</li></ul><p>The duration of <strong><span>the position is limited </span></strong>for 4,5 years (54 months).</p><p>GSI supports the vocational development of women.

Within Hereon, the Institute of Metallic Biomaterials focuses on the development and characterization of biodegradable magnesium?based alloys for medical implant applications. In close collaboration with the Institute of Materials Physics, which operates state?of?the?art imaging beamlines at PETRA?III (DESY, Hamburg), we combine materials science with world?leading synchrotron X?ray imaging. This unique environment enables unprecedented insight into degradation, deformation, and fatigue mechanisms in metallic biomaterials under realistic loading conditions.<br/><br/>Insight into materials fatigue under load is essential across many technological and biomedical fields. In?situ experiments are key to this, as they provide real?time information on deformation and failure mechanisms. This is especially relevant for biodegradable implant materials, where detailed knowledge of degradation and fatigue behavior is required to ensure safety and performance. The high X?ray flux density at the imaging beamlines P05 and P07 of PETRA III enables 4D in situ/operando tomography, allowing dynamic processes such as material corrosion or mechanical deformation during compression or tensile tests to be studied in 3D over time. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in a 3-year project to help push the boundaries of high?speed, high?resolution micro-tomography (µCT).<br/><br/>Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position. In principle, the full time position (39 h/week) is also sharable. <br/><br/><br/>Your tasks<br/><br/>You will contribute to advancing in situ µCT experiments at the imaging beamlines operated by Hereon, enhancing our capability to study the fatigue of magnesium based implants at highest temporal and spatial resolution. Core responsibilities include improving the existing tensile testing setup, integrating high?speed imaging systems, and ensuring fully synchronized operation with the mechanical loading apparatus.<br/>Another key task involves improving tomographic reconstruction methods to achieve efficient, high?quality time?resolved imaging. In addition, the candidate will help to implement a multimodal measurement workflow that incorporates complementary techniques such as acoustic emission monitoring, enabling automated triggering of µCT scans to follow the degradation and crack propagation in magnesium under load.<br/>You will work closely with the PETRA?III beamline team and project consortium, benefiting from their extensive experience in synchrotron-radiation experimentation. The position offers substantial freedom to shape your own experimental ideas and develop methodological expertise in a world?class research environment.<br/><br/> Contribute to advancing in situ µCT experimentation at the beamlines (P05/P07) operated by Hereon, enabling studies with high temporal and spatial resolution.<br/> Improve the existing tensile testing setup, including integration of high?speed imaging systems and ensuring fully synchronized operation with the mechanical loading apparatus.<br/> Enhance tomographic reconstruction methodologies to achieve efficient, high?quality, time?resolved imaging.<br/> Support the implementation of a multimodal measurement workflow, incorporating complementary techniques such as acoustic emission monitoring for automated triggering of µCT scans and demonstrating the versatility by investigating the degradation of Magnesium alloys under load<br/> Collaborate actively within the project consortium and contribute to the dissemination of research outcomes.<br/> Work closely with the beamline team and the broader project consortium to ensure coordinated and supportive execution of all responsibilities.<br/><br/>Your profile<br/><br/> PhD in Physics/?Computer Science or similar<br/> knowledge in (fast) X?ray tomography<br/> hands-on experience in experimental control<br/> good programming skills in Python, MATLAB, IDL or similar<br/> good analytical skills<br/><br/>Assets:<br/><br/> knowledge of control software (TANGO) for experimental devices<br/> in situ tomography<br/> basic knowledge of mechanical testing of materials<br/> experience with HPC clusters, parallel or distributed computing<br/><br/>We offer you<br/><br/> an exciting and varied job in a research centre with around 1,000 employees from more than 60 nations<br/> a well-connected research campus (public transport) and best networking opportunities, subsidy for the Deutschlandticket if certain conditions are met (job ticket)<br/> individual opportunities for further training<br/> social benefits according to the collective agreement of the public service and remuneration up to pay group 13 according to TV EntgO Bund<br/> an excellent technical infrastructure and modern workplace equipment<br/> 6 weeks holiday per year; company holidays between Christmas and New Year's Day<br/> very good compatibility of private and professional life; offers of mobile and flexible work<br/> family-friendly company policy with childcare facilities, e.g. nursery close to the company<br/> free assistance program for employees (EAP)<br/> corporate benefits<br/> a varied offer in the canteen on campus<br/><br/>Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements. <br/><br/>Interested?<br/><br/>Then we are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive application documents (cover letter, CV, transcripts, certificates, etc.) indicating the reference number 2026/MB 2 until 20th, May, 2026.<br/><br/>Apply now! <a href="https://jobs2.hereon.de/job/Postdoc-Researcher-Fast-in-situ-tomography-for-mechanical-load-experiments/985-en_US/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">jobs2.hereon.de/job/Postdoc-Researcher-Fast-in-situ-tomography-for-mechanical-load-experiments/985-en_US/</a><p><i>This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.

High-performance ceramics play a key role in this work. The research areas of IMD-2 are: materials for high-temperature applications (thermal insulation and protective coatings for hydrogen gas turbines, fusion plants and solar thermal systems), gas separation membranes for hydrogen and oxygen, sorbents for the direct removal of CO₂ from the air, and catalytic membrane reactors for energy-efficient processes, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyser cells (SOEC) for the production of H2 and CO, and coatings for low-temperature electrolysers, as well as lithium and sodium solid-state batteries with high safety and stability for stationary and mobile applications. The researchers’ expertise, ranging from solid-state chemistry and synthesis through powder-based and wet chemical processing and sintering to thin-film and thermal spraying processes, enables rapid adaptation to new scientific challenges. The experimental activities are complemented by multi-scale modelling (from DFT to fluid dynamics and finite element analysis), leading to a better understanding and prediction of materials and processes.</p><p>Efficient conversion and storage technologies are urgently needed for Germany’s energy transition. Electrolysis technology plays a central role in this effort, as it enables the conversion of excess electrical energy into hydrogen. Proton-conducting membranes play a key role in future hydrogen concepts as electrolytes for proton-conducting ceramic electrolysis and fuel cells (PCEC/PCFC). A promising class of materials for this application are yttrium-doped barium zirconates BaZrxY1-xO3-δ (BZY) and barium cerium zirconates BaZrxCeyY1-x-yO3-δ (BZCY). The electrochemical properties can be further improved through targeted doping with elements such as Y³⁺, Yb³⁺, Al³⁺, Sc³⁺, and In³⁺, as this holds the promise of increasing grain boundary conductivity. At present, the influence of dopant elements on proton conductivity is in most cases investigated through trial-and-error methods, and the targeted use of the segregation of acceptor dopant elements at grain boundaries is still in the beginning.</p><h3>Your Job</h3><ul><li>Powder synthesis and targeted doping of acceptor-doped BZY and BZCY powders via a modified mixed-oxide route</li><li>Sintering of specimens via ultra-fast high-temperature sintering (UHS) and field-assisted sintering (FAST/SPS)</li><li>Optimization of the two sintering methods and establishment of automated data acquisition</li><li>Fundamental characterization of microstructure, phase composition, and conductivity</li><li>Coordination of the characterization of samples produced in Jülich by the project partners</li><li>Data acquisition using eLabFTW and transfer to the central database in Kadi4Mat</li></ul><h3>Your Profile</h3><ul><li>Successfully completed university studies (master) in the field of physics, mechanical engineering, process engineering, materials science or related fields</li><li>Experience in the field of synthesis and processing of ceramic materials via powder technology</li><li>Experience in the compaction of powders using field-assisted sintering methods (FAST/SPS)</li><li>Microstructural characterization using SEM/EDX and phase analysis using XRD</li><li>Basic knowledge of impedance spectroscopy</li><li>Good command of written and spoken English</li><li>Interest in working in a cross-institutional, international research group</li><li>Experimental skills and ability to work independently</li><li>A high degree of teamwork and flexibility as well as the willingness to show great commitment</li></ul><h3>Our Benefits for You</h3><p>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!
