Postdoc Position - Application of THz fields in Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED)

Max Planck Society

Berlin, Germany

We currently offer a Postdoc position (m/f/d) for the application of THz fields in ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) in the Department of Physical Chemistry of Prof. Martin Wolf. The successful candidate will join our ultrafast electron diffraction team in the Max Planck Fellow Group Structural & Electronic Surface Dynamics. The team studies femtosecond structural dynamics in a variety of condensed matter systems using in-house UED experiments and is associated with the Ultrafast Nanoscience group of Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer at TU Berlin.

Requirements

• Successfully completed PhD degree in physics or a related subject.
• Excellent communication skills, and in particular good command of the English language.
• Hands-on experience with ultrafast optics.
• Programming skills: Matlab, Python etc.

In addition, research experience in one of the following fields is an advantage:

• Ultrafast THz optics
• Work with ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) setups
• crystallography and diffraction methods (X-ray, electrons, or Neutrons)
• CAD design (e.g. using Solid edge or similar software)
