Remuneration Group 13 | Limited: 2 years | Starting date: earliest possible | ID: MPO003/2024 | Deadline: 29.05.2025 | Full-time/Part-time
DESY, with more than 2900 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.
This postdoctoral position focuses on the implementation of advanced lasing concepts at the European XFEL as a member of the FEL R&D group at DESY including, in particular, simulations of sub-fs x-ray pulses through the technique of chirp/taper, respectively eSASE and self-chirping. The project is still in development and the hired researcher will be able to influence it both in the design as well as during the commissioning stage.
**About your role**:
- Simulation for attosecond pulses using both established and novel concepts
- Participate in the commissioning of the new operation modes in the control room
- Share insights and results through presentations, reports and publications
- Support daily operation of the facility as an operator
**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.
Limited: 2 years
**About you**:
- PhD in physics or related field with a background in accelerator or FEL physics
- Knowledge of accelerators and relevant simulation tools (Elegant/Genesis/Oscelot)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret experimental results, identify discrepancies with theoretical models, and propose improvements
- Experience in the operation of a particle accelerator is a plus
- Good command of English, German is beneficial
