We are looking for a Project Officer/Research Associate/Research Fellow to undertake the responsibilities towards the development of new photopolymers and biomaterials.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate nano-computed tomography (nano-CT) systems to perform high-resolution 3D imaging of samples.

• Prepare, mount, and align samples for CT scanning.

• Optimize scan parameters (voltage, current, exposure time, resolution) to achieve required image quality.

• Perform system calibrations and routine performance checks.

• Monitor scans and troubleshoot basic operational issues during imaging.

• Reconstruct CT scan datasets using appropriate reconstruction software.

• Perform image processing, segmentation, and quantitative analysis of 3D datasets.

• Extract relevant measurements (porosity, defects, internal structure, dimensional measurements).

• Generate technical reports, figures, and summaries of results.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Materials Science, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Imaging Science, or a related technical field.

• Basic understanding of X-ray imaging, tomography, or materials characterization.

• Experience with CT reconstruction or analysis software (e.g., Dragonfly, Avizo, VGStudio MAX, or similar).

• Experience with scientific data analysis software and image processing tools.

• Strong attention to detail and data management skills.
