Laser Scientist (m/f/d)
<body> <h1>Laser Scientist (m/f/d)</h1> <h2>DESY Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron, Hamburg</h2> <p> For our location in Hamburg we are seeking: Laser Scientist DESY DESY is one of the world's leading research centres for photon science, particle and astroparticle physics as well as accelerator physics. More than 2400 employees work at our two locations Hamburg and Zeuthen in science, technology and administration. DESY's laser science and technology group is responsible for research, development and operations of high-power femtosecond and picosecond lasers related to particle accelerators and free-electron lasers (FEL). Ultrafast laser technology is one of the key-enabling technologies for many science experiments at the soft X-rayFEL facility FLASH and the hard-X-ray FEL facility European XFEL. It is required for ultrafast-laser-X-ray pump-probe experiments at a few femtosecond time resolution. In a joint R&D project between the European XFEL and DESY, we will be developing and evaluating novel femtosecond oscillators for driving high power, high-repetition rate ultrafast lasers for pump-probe experiments at those facilities. For this project, we are seeking a self-driven, highly motivated laser scientist. The position Advance low timing jitter femtosecond fiber oscillators Develop pulse-picking techniques for high-repetition rate oscillators Characterize and evaluate timing-jitter of in-house developed and commercial femtosecond oscillators Requirements Ph. D. in physics, electrical engineering or a similar discipline Excellent knowledge of ultrafast fiber laser technology Hands-on experience with electro-optical modulators and of timing-jitter measurement techniques Proven scientific track record For further information please contact ingmar.hartl@desy.de or maximilian.lederer@xfel.eu. The position is limited to 2 years. Salary and benefits are commensurate with those of public service organizations in Germany. Classification is based upon qualifications and assigned duties. Handicapped persons will be given preference to other equally qualified applicants. DESY operates flexible work schemes. DESY is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women. Vacant positions at DESY are in general open to part-time-work. During each application procedure, DESY will assess whether the post can be filled with part-time employees. We are looking forward to your application via our application system: Online-Application.
