Dear SEES members, UC Santa Cruz, in conjunction with the SEES consortium<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://seescience.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!fkdEo7rp... >, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in X-ray imaging and/or rock physics/rock mechanics, who will work under the direction of Professor Quentin Williams. The position will be on-site in Berkeley, California. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute scientific and technical skills to synchrotron research projects in the area of rock mechanics/deformation at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Advanced Light Source’s microtomography beamline 8.3.2. The possibility exists for additional collaborations at micro-Laue diffraction beamline 12.3.2, which includes capabilities such as texture analysis and grain orientation. This role involves designing, executing and writing-up experiments, generating technical innovations and equipment modifications, and collaborating with synchrotron users to support a range of geological research projects. As a result, the position will require the postdoctoral researcher to consistently demonstrate excellent communication skills (both written and verbal). We particularly seek applicants with prior expertise in X-ray imaging (and particularly tomography) of inorganic samples, optimally with instrument or software development experience. Experience in rock physics/rock mechanics is desirable. Familiarity with image analysis/processing (including multi- dimensional) is particularly preferred.
