Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce a PhD position in the field of theoretical AMO physics / quantum chemistry in the frame of our novel Cluster of Excellence “Advanced Imaging of Matter” at the Universität Hamburg. The position is initially for 3 years, with the possibility of an extension. The successful candidate will develop theory of nonlinear resonant stimulated x-ray Raman scattering for molecular systems. In particular, the candidate will extend existing quantum chemistry methods to predict vibronic wave packets that are induced by stimulated x-ray Raman scattering. The challenge lies in keeping track of both nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom and to predict the maintenance and decoherence of electron wave packets that are initiated by stimulated x-ray Raman scattering. In a second step the candidate will develop the concept of non-linear pump-probe schemes (nonlinear stimulated x-ray Raman scattering and quantum-beat Auger spectroscopy) and will predict spectral probe signals. The work will be in close collaboration with another theory group on Campus (Prof. R. Santra) and experimentalists, to guide future experiments at x-ray free-electron lasers. Requirements: A university degree in a relevant field. The candidate should have a background in theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics, theoretical solid-state physics or theoretical quantum chemistry and should have strong programming skills (Fortran or C++). The candidate should have a strong interest in collaborating with experimentalists, strong communication skills and excellent command in spoken and written English. Deadline for application: April 15, 2019 For further information and the official job announcement see: https://www.uni-hamburg.de/uhh/stellenangebote/wissenschaftliches-personal/exzellenzcluster-cui/15-04-19-144-en.pdf To apply for the position, please provide a cover letter (explaining your background, experience and motivation for this project) and CV and send it to [log in to unmask] Moreover, please have 1-2 letter of recommendation sent to [log in to unmask], or append those letters - if available - to your application.
