Dear colleagues,
I have an opening for a theoretical postdoc in the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (AMOP) Group at Argonne National Laboratory. The successful candidate will develop theoretical models and high-performance computing codes to investigate stimulated x-ray processes and competing intramolecular processes in molecules exposed to ultrashort x-ray pulses or advanced imaging concepts using high-order x-ray coherence of fluorescence. These theory projects are closely connected with the experimental efforts of the AMOP group using x-ray free-electron laser facilities around the world. Argonne National Laboratory has an Advanced Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) and will be the home to the first exascale computer, AURORA, in the United States. The successful candidate will work closely with the scientists at ALCF to develop highly parallelized codes that make use of AURORA. The formal position description is given below.
Candidates should apply using requisition # 407044 through the following link https://www.anl.gov/hr/postdoctoral-applicants
I would appreciate it if you would bring this opportunity to the attention of potential candidates. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me ([log in to unmask]).
Best,
Phay Ho
Position Description:
Under the guidance of a supervisor within the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Group develops theoretical models and performs computer simulations on high performance computers in support of ultrafast x-ray spectroscopic and scattering experiments at synchrotron and free-electron laser facilities; participates in beamtimes and writes journal publications. Interacts and performs collaborative research with Argonne and external collaborators and remains knowledgeable of progress in relevant fields of research. Based on interest and experience, involves in one or more research projects, including
(a) developing first-principles theoretical framework for studying stimulated x-ray processes and competing x-ray-induced intramolecular processes in molecules,
(b) exploring high-order x-ray coherence of fluorescence processes for high-resolution structural imaging with fluorescence intensity correlation spectroscopy.
Position Requirements:
Considerable knowledge of and experience in theoretical AMO physics or quantum chemistry; Good skill in conceiving and implementing computational/numerical methods. Experience with C++, Fortran or python desirable.
Interest in ultrafast x-ray science, free-electron laser or synchrotron sources and development of theoretical models to facilitate the interpretation of measurements.
Good ability to communicate scientific information orally and in written reports and publications.
Ability to work independently on a daily basis. Ability to work effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary research group.
This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education at the Ph.D. degree level with 0 to 3 years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience.
