Post-doctoral position in the development of x-ray texture
tomography to study biomineralized tissue

Location

At the Institut Fresnel in Marseille, France, and academic joint laboratory of Aix-Marseille University, CNRS and Ecole Centrale.

Position

The selected post-doctoral researcher will take active part in the ERC project, which requires:

  • Mathematical formulation of the texture tomography inversion problem
  • Design and numerical implementation of the numeric inversion code
  • Experimental implementation of texture tomography at synchrotron light sources
    (European Synchrotron (ESRF), Grenoble, France) and carry out experimental
    campaigns on biomineralized samples
    The selected post-doc should demonstrate a sound scientific background and very good
    knowledge of numerical methods, allowing him/her to conduct the outlined research
    activities. He/she will work under the direct supervision of a CNRS scientist and will interact
    with other researchers in the team as well as scientists at the ESRF during the implementation
    of the method. The position entails furthermore multiple scientific visits to the European
    Synchrotron (ESRF) during the experimental implementation.
