Arizona State University: Office of the Executive Vice President Knowledge Enterprise: Biodesign Institute: Biodesign ASD Location Tempe campus Open Date May 03, 2023 Description Arizona State University has embarked on a multi-year project to develop novel compact X-ray sources including the Compact X-ray FEL (CXFEL) generating ultrashort and coherent X-rays in a room-sized facility. We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on the physics of high brightness electron and photon beams, and the technologies for their production. The areas of research span a range of topics important to the production of coherent x-rays from a compact accelerator including high brightness electron beam physics, coherent radiation emission from relativistic electrons, photoinjector R&D, and sophisticated controls and diagnostics of photon and electron beams. The successful applicant will join the team constructing the Compact X-ray Free-Electron Laser (CXFEL) under a recent ...
