Job Details
This post, funded through the EPSRC ‘First Grant’ scheme, is part of a new Research Theme at the University of Sheffield looking at Applied Computational Microscopy. The post-holder will work closely on a new form of microscopy called Ptychography, attempting to perfect recent proofs-of-principle that extend its applicability into three dimensions. His/her findings will then be applied to a range of applications, for example visible light microscopy of thick tissues and electron microscopy of semiconductors. The candidate will develop a theory, backed up by matlab simulation results, that explains the capabilities and limitations of the new techniques and carry out proof-of-principle experiments in our well-equipped optics lab, to demonstrate the validity of the theory. Candidates are sought who have excellent computer skills including MATLAB programming, with a PhD (or thesis submission) in image technique development, or equivalent experience in industry. A publication track record in refereed Journals is essential.
