**Job Description**
The Coherent Hard X-ray (CHX, 11-ID) beamline at NSLS-II seeks a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in computational imaging, data science, or scientific computing. This position focuses on developing advanced image reconstruction methods, signal processing techniques, and data analysis pipelines for novel X-ray imaging modalities, including ghost imaging, quantum-enhanced imaging, and other correlation-based methods. As part of a DOE-BER-funded effort to develop a quantum-enhanced X-ray microscope for low-dose biological imaging, the successful candidate will collaborate with experimental physicists, biologists, and data scientists, emphasizing high-fidelity image reconstructions from sparse and noisy data using compressed sensing, optimization, and machine learning.
**Skills & Abilities**
• Proficiency in scientific programming for experimental control or data analysis.
• Ability to work independently in a laboratory setting and collaborate effectively in a team environment.
• Experience with correlated photon techniques such as ghost imaging, intensity interferometry, or parametric down-conversion (Preferred).
• Strong understanding of light-matter interaction and detection techniques (e.g., photon counting, time-resolved detection) (Preferred).
• Familiarity with synchrotron or XFEL beamline environments and relevant instrumentation (Preferred).
• Experience with time-resolved or single-photon detectors (Preferred).
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Physics
• Applied Physics
• Optics
• Mathematics
• Electrical Engineering
• A related field (Ph.D.)
**Experience**
Other:
• Demonstrated experience in optical or X-ray experiments, or related experimental photon science.
• After obtaining a Ph.D., eligible candidates for research associate appointments may not exceed a combined total of 5 years of relevant work experience as a post-doc and/or in an R&D position, excluding time associated with family planning, military service, illness, or other life-changing events.
