About your role:
As part of the BMFTR project „AttoSee”:
* You will drive the development of synchronised ultrashort UV and NIR sources at the CFEL-ATTO labs for testing a setup for concurrent angular streaking of high and low kinetic energy electrons, ultimately to be used at the European XFEL
* Beginning with a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser system and mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier, you will develop a compression scheme to reach few-cycle pulse durations, and subsequently use them to drive deep UV resonant dispersive waves in a hollow core fiber
* You will design an optical setup to combine the sources spatially and temporally inside a multi-electron-spectrometer setup
* Carry out experiments on various samples in collaboration with an expert team
* In addition to the experiments at DESY, you will take part in experiments and the final commissioning of the setup at the European XFEL
Good reasons to join:
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to %). You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision.
