Hamburg, Deutschland Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Vollzeit

Limited: 2 years | Starting date: earliest possible | ID: FSMA027/2024 | Deadline: 04.07.2024 | Full-time/Part-time

DESY, with more than 3000 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.

Ultrafast lasers represent a key enabling technology for research efforts at DESY. They are used to generate and manipulate electron beams at the free electron laser facilities XFEL and FLASH, enable pump-probe experiments at those facilities and provide exciting options for future attosecond pulse production at the European XFEL. One of our research topics focuses on generating mJ-level TW laser pulses by nonlinear spectral broadening concepts followed by post-compression. This way, cost and energy-efficient lasers can be used to generate few-cycle pulses with high conversion efficiency and at high average power. Within this project, we target the development of a state-of-the-art CEP stable few-cycle laser source which will be used to modulate a high-energy electron beam to explore novel concepts for attosecond X-ray pulse generation at the European XFEL. For this joint project between DESY and the European XFEL, we are seeking a self-driven, highly motivated laser scientist.
- About your role:
- Work in an interdisciplinary team of accelerator physicists, engineers and laser scientists
- Develop a high-average and high peak-power few-cycle laser source employing extreme-scale post-compression
- Advance laser post-compression technology to large compression factors, high throughput and few-cycle pulse durations.
- Develop CEP control for post-compressed laser pulses
- Explore beam transport of the few cycle laser beam to the interaction point with the electron beam
- Contribute to exiting developments of new concepts for attosecond pulse generation using Free-Electron Lasers
- Good reasons to join:
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to 50%). You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision. As a public funded employer, we offer you a secure workplace and facilitate your individual career with our comprehensive training and development opportunities. Remuneration is according to the regulations of the TV-AVH. DESY offers its employees a financial supplement for a German job ticket at both locations.
- About you:
- Ph.D. or Dr. degree in physics, electrical engineering or equivalent qualification
- Excellent knowledge of ultrafast laser technology and nonlinear optics
- Proven scientific track record in ultrafast optics including experiences within experimental works and numerical simulations
- Experience with ultrafast pulse characterization tools, optics simulation tools and CEP-stable lasers is a plus
- Experience with laser pulse post-compression techniques is a plus
