We are seeking a Research Fellow to spearhead cutting-edge research in the computational and theoretical modeling of free-electron-driven X-ray photonics. Working closely with experimentalists, the research fellow will lead the study of coherent X-ray emission from free-electron-driven van der Waals materials, and the use of this platform for realizing X-ray phase-contrast imaging on a table-top scale.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop theoretical and numerical frameworks for free-electron-driven X-ray nanophotonics - i.e., model the physics of free electrons impinging on nanomaterials like van der Waals crystals, and subsequent coherent X-ray emission processes.

  • Lead papers and publish in high-impact journals

  • Present at top-tier international conferences

Job Requirements:

  • PhD degree in physics, engineering or related field

  • Familiarity with electrodynamics and electromagnetism; quantum physics/quantum electrodynamics is a plus
