University Assistant Post-Doc (all genders)

40 hours/week | limited to 6 years

TU Wien is Austria's largest institution of research and higher education in the fields of technology and natural sciences. With over 26,000 students and more than 4000 scientists, research, teaching, and learning dedicated to the advancement of science and technology have been conducted here for more than 200 years, guided by the motto "Technology for People". As a driver of innovation, TU Wien fosters close collaboration with business and industry and contributes to the prosperity of society.

At the Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics, in the Research Unit of Applied Solid State Chemistry - in collaboration with the X-ray Center - TU Wien is offering a position as university assistant post-doc (all genders) limited to expected 6 years for 40 hours/week. Expected start: May 2025.

The group of Applied Solid State Chemistry and the X-ray Center (XRC) at TU Wien carry out microstructural materials analysis using X-ray methods and develop innovative instrument technologies. In this context, we are looking for a committed senior postdoc in the field of physics/engineering/chemistry with an interest in instrument and method development for X-ray methods, and experience in handling/evaluating complex data.

One strategic vision of the working groups is to develop flexible analytical capabilities as a preparation, and in specific cases as an alternative to synchrotron measurements.

Tasks:

• In collaboration with the radiophysics group at TU Wien and the materials physics group at BOKU, an X-ray system for microstructural analysis of polycrystalline materials, a novel, energy-dispersive 2D photon detector will be utilised
• A novel X-ray diffraction setup will be expanded to include lab-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy
• In addition to installing the components, a data evaluation system will be developed based on available programs for data recording, transfer, reduction and evaluation. This will be linked to the existing device control system
• Based on specific scientific questions, evaluation methods for data analysis (ideally "on the fly") for the detector data will be developed
• Experience in the field of data evaluation of large volumes and/or programming experience in the field of data management are therefore a great advantage
