Post Doc position in Attosecond Physics : Lund, Sweden

Post Doc position in Attosecond Physics

Lund University was founded in 1666. Today, the University is ranked as one of the world's top 100 and is Sweden's most international higher education institution. The University has 47 000 students and 7 200 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

The Division of Atomic Physics at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University, Sweden has a staff of over 50 researchers including guest researchers and graduate students. The research at the division is mainly based on the use of lasers, ranging from diode lasers to terawatt lasers at the High-Power Laser Facility. Some areas of research are: physics with high intensity laser pulses, attosecond science, VUV/XUV laser spectroscopy, quantum electronics, quantum optics and solid state spectroscopy, applied molecular spectroscopy, laser applications in medicine and biology, and industrial applications.

Specific subject description
Time-resolved studies of atoms and molecules using ultrashort intense laser pulses in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray regions.

Job assignments
The work within this position will be performed at the Lund High power laser facility and to some extent at national and international user facilities, mainly involving experimental work. The project may include the following tasks:
• To use and develop a high power femtosecond laser for the generation and optimization of intense high-order harmonics and attosecond pulses
• Application of these intense harmonics to attosecond time-resolution studies of atoms and molecules using an imaging ion and electron spectrometer
• Development of these experiments for attosecond applications to molecules of biological interest

The postdoctoral fellow is expected to interact with the master students and the PhD-students in the research group and contribute to meetings and seminars. Teaching might also be part of the job.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements
Qualified for the position as postdoctoral fellow is a person who holds a doctorate or a foreign degree that is deemed equivalent to a doctorate and who has completed the degree within the three years prior to the last date for applications, unless there are valid reasons. Other requirements are:
• A doctorate degree in Physics, Chemistry or equivalent at the date of recruitment. Experience in one or more of the areas named below is a merit: o Ultrafast (femtosecond) lasers
o High-order harmonic generation and/or attosecond physics
o Electron and ion (imaging) spectroscopy
o Work with molecules of biological interest

• Experience in development of measurement and control software in LabView or similar environments.
• Experience in data analysis using MATLAB or similar environments.
• Experience in writing scientific papers in English.
• Very good knowledge in written and spoken english.
