PhD Position: Machine Learning for Analysis of Scattering Data
Join Universität Tübingen to develop machine learning tools for X-ray and neutron scattering data analysis.
Best for:Best for computer science or physics graduates with a strong background in machine learning and data analysis.
Overview
The Institute of Applied Physics at Universität Tübingen invites applications for a PhD position within the research group led by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Frank Schreiber. The successful candidate will focus on creating innovative machine learning strategies to efficiently analyze large datasets generated from molecular and biological scattering experiments. Working within an international team, the researcher will develop software tools for surface-sensitive techniques like X-ray Reflectivity and Grazing-Incidence Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering. Applicants are expected to contribute to top-level scientific experiments, integrate software into computational environments, and present results at conferences and in publications.
