The aim of the XTREME-CT project is to develop mesoscale 3D multiscale X-ray tomographic imaging. The ambition is enable of collection of 3D tomographic data with a voxel to image ratio of 10^4-10^5 (10000-100000) thus providing much larger information density than in existing approaches.
The position is available from 1. February 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The group has excellent in house X-ray 3D imaging infrastructure (axia.au.dk), access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy and are avid users of synchrotron X-ray sources around the world.
All interested candidates are encouraged to apply, regardless of their personal background. The group currently consists of an almost equal number of male and female members.

Aarhus University in general and our group in particular have a quite ‘flat’ work culture where input is solicited from all employees. Aarhus has excellent infrastructure, for example through widespread bike path networks.
Aarhus has a thriving food-scene, excellent museums, beautiful natural scenery, etc. It is a lively student-rich city with a “young population” resulting in a multitude of cultural events such as music festivals etc.
The postdoc salary in Denmark is high and persons who have not been taxable in Denmark for three years may qualify for tax deductions.
