欧洲光束线研究中心招收激光物理学方向博士后

The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Project is an integral part of the European plan to build the next generation of large research facilities. ELI-Beamlines as a cutting edge laser facility is currently being constructed in Dolní Brežany (on the border of Prague), Czech Republic; its commissioning is scheduled for end of 2017. ELI will be delivering ultra-short, ultra-intense laser pulses lasting typically a few tens of femtoseconds (100 fs) with peak power projected to reach 10 PW. It will make available time synchronized laser beams over a wide range of intensities for multidisciplinary applications in physics, medicine, biology, material science etc. The high laser electric field intensities of the laser pulse will be also used for generating secondary sources of e- and p+ and high-energy photons.

The research group RP2 (X-ray sources) is expanding and recruiting physicists in relevant fields for the design/development of the facility and for preparation of future experimental activities.

In our team we therefore have the following position available:

POSTDOC (ELI-R203)

The candidate is supposed to work predominantly on the following topics:

• High-order harmonic beamline development and implementation.
• Contribution to the experiments on the HHG sources that will be performed at PALS using the 20TW laser driver. He will also take part to the installation and commissioning of the HHG beamline that will be implemented in the ELI Beamlines building.

Requirements:

• A PhD in laser physics or engineering
• Good knowledge of (nonlinear) optics and femtosecond laser technology
• Fluent in English for speaking and writing; knowledge of another language, in particular Czech, is a plus although not mandatory
• Willingness to travel according to the requirements of the position
• Ability to work in a team as well as independently

Job conditions:

• The opportunity to participate in this unique scientific project
• Career growth, professional education
• Competitive and motivating salary
• 5 weeks of holiday and other employee benefits
