Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a postdoc position in the field of experimental AMO physics / x-ray spectroscopy in the frame of our novel Cluster of Excellence “Advanced Imaging of Matter” at the Universität Hamburg. The position is initially for 2 years, with the possibility of an extension.
The successful candidate will prepare and perform experiments of stimulated electronic x-ray Raman scattering in molecular samples in the gas and liquid phase at x-ray free-electron laser sources. Impulsive stimulated electronic Raman scattering is an inelastic scattering process that produces coherent electronic wave packets. The candidate will perform proof-of-principle experiments of impulsive stimulated Raman scattering, by monitoring the x-ray emission spectrum. In a second step, the candidate will develop the experimental concept of quantum-beat pump-probe Auger-electron spectroscopy. In this experiment, the pump process prepares an electronic wave packet by impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy that is subsequently probed by a time-delayed x-ray pulse via resonant Auger-spectroscopy. The candidate is expected to work in close collaboration with the involved theory group in order to develop the best concept of the experiments along with theoretical predictions. The successful candidate will be hosted commonly by the group of N. Rohringer (DESY, UHH) and the group of M. Meyer (European XFEL).
Requirements: A university degree and PhD in a relevant subject. The candidate should have a strong background in experimental physics (atomic, molecular and optical physics, solid-state physics). Furthermore, the successful candidate has a track reckord in x-ray (or XUV) emission spectroscopy and/or high-resolution electron spectroscopy. Experience in performing experiments at storage-ring based x-ray sources or free-electron laser sources would be advantageous. Furthermore, the candidate should have strong data analysis skills and good programming skills (C++ or Python).
Deadline for application: April 15, 2019
