PMP - The Physics of Metal Plasticity

PMP - ERC advanced grant - will exploit the physics of plasticity. For the first time, we can directly see the processes involved: the creation of dislocations, their self-organization, and subsequent creation of ever more complex patterns. At the same time, we can deduce the local stress. This will provide answers to longstanding core questions of metal science.

Job positions

  1. PhD Fellowships – CO2 Conversion to Solids: Increase Sustainability by Transforming Waste Building Materials to New, Valuable Products


  1. Postdoc in X-ray Optics and Detectors

  1.  Post-doc in X-ray microscopy

deadline:  24 July 2023 deadline:  1 August 2023 deadline: Coming soon

We are looking for a curious, enthusiastic colleague who has an interest in nature, enjoys solving problems and working together to meet the projects’ goals. We expect you to have an interest in at least one of the following topics:

  • Geochemistry and/or Mineralogy (mineral-fluid interactions)
  • Surface Chemistry/Physics (thermodynamics/kinetics of mineral/glass interaction with fluids)
  • Organic Chemistry (analysis/synthesis)
  • Computational/Theoretical Physics/Chemistry (DFT/MD/coarse graining)
  • Reactor Design 
  • Atomic force microscopy 
  • X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
  • X-ray 3D/4D imaging

Flexibility is essential. We are looking for a team player who can also work independently, who is motivated to help make, and be part of, a dynamic research environment and who has a positive, supportive and creative outlook. We expect you to have good communication and personal interaction skills and to be fluent in English. 

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

You will be responsible for developing new X-ray optics and/or detector solutions that support multiscale imaging. You will take part in implementing the methods at the DanMAX beamline at MAX IV in Lund and at laboratory sources at DTU. You will also be part of the XTREME-CT project team that explores the method for life science imaging. 

Your qualifications:
You are excited about experimental science and advanced data analysis.  We expect that you enjoy being part of a team, that you have a sense of humor, are a good problem solver, and that you can work efficiently and independently. 

For this position, we favor candidates with a PhD degree in physics, optics, photonics, or similar. You should

  • Have a solid grasp of optics and X-ray science.
  • Be skilled in data analysis with proven experience with programming, e.g. Python.
  • Be skilled in experimental work.

Previous experience with synchrotron-based instrumentation and/or bio-imaging can be an advantage but is not required.
