The Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (www.fhi.mpg.de) is one of the most internationally renowned research institutes. More than 400 employees in 5 scientific departments conduct and facilitate top-level research on historic grounds in Berlin-Dahlem, which is unique worldwide.
We currently offer a
Postdoc position (m/f/d)
Bright attosecond coherent soft X-ray generation and time resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (tr-XAS)
The Department of Physical Chemistry of Prof. Martin Wolf is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our tr-XAS project developed in collaboration with Jens Biegert (ICFO, Barcelona). This position offers the exciting opportunity to develop a high-brightness attosecond coherent soft X-ray beamline and conduct time-resolved core-level soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy of condensed matter systems. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing the understanding of femtosecond structural dynamics in quantum materials and 2D van der Waals systems. This position is available immediately
