Job vacancy to be filled from: 01.03.2026

Description You will develop fast, adaptive 3D reconstruction tools for synchrotron tomography at PETRA III. Your work will enable real-time visualization, region-of-interest selection, and adaptive scanning, making high-quality 3D imaging accessible to both expert and non-expert users. You will implement advanced algorithms, including novel phase retrieval, artifact reduction, and motion-compensation schemes applied to established 3D reconstruction methods such as filtered back projection. You will optimize reconstruction pipelines using these algorithms and contribute to developing intuitive interfaces seamlessly integrated into beamline workflows, enabling image-based, feedback-driven experiments.

Main Tasks:

• Implement and optimize novel phase retrieval, artifact-reduction and motion compensation algorithms and integrate them into 3D reconstruction pipelines
• Develop metrics for real-time feedback on scan quality, including 2D and 3D resolution estimates.
• Integrate the developed pipelines into the beamline control system
