Research Engineer I - Miniaturizing Particle Accelerators for X-Ray Generation

About the role

The School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) at NTU is looking for a research engineer passionate about discovering new physics in emerging materials, particularly in developing compact, high-brightness X-ray sources. The work focuses on miniaturizing particle accelerators in free-electron-driven X-ray sources so that features of large-scale facilities become available in a table-top setup. Applications include industrial inspection, medical imaging and treatment, forensics, security inspection and fundamental science.

Key responsibilities

• Discover new phenomena and develop new applications related to the miniaturization of particle accelerators and X-ray sources
• Assist in fundamental research on electron-photon interactions in emerging materials and nanostructures
• Publish in world-class journals on nanophotonics and quantum physics
• Assist in supervising undergraduate students

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in physics, engineering, mathematics or a related field
• Excellent verbal and written English
• Strong academic credentials and a keenness to keep learning
• Passion for fundamental research and discovering new physics
• Highly productive and self-motivated, able to work independently and in teams
• Prior research experience on related topics is a bonus
