Laser Beamline Scientist

DESY is one of the world’s leading research centres for photon science, particle and astroparticle physics as well as accelerator physics. More than 2,400 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).

For design and implementation of ultrafast laser-XUV FEL pump-probe experiments in the context of time-resolved condensed matter physics and surface science at DESY's FLASH PG beamline we are seeking a self-driven highly motivated scientist to complement our fast-growing, international team of scientists, engineers and technicians.

Research and development of versatile ultrafast laser sources for pump-probe experiments at FEL beamlines with focus on nonlinear conversion schemes to extend the pump laser spectral coverage from UV to THz for photoelectron spectroscopy experiments

Research in condensed matter science with focus on photoelectron spectroscopy using DESY's large scale facilities and ultrafast laser instrumentation

Support ultrafast laser-XUV FEL pump-probe experiments at DESY's XUV Free Electron Laser FLASH

• Ph. D. in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering or similar discipline with several years of experience.
• Excellent knowledge of laser science and technology, condensed matter physics and surface science.
• Demonstrated experience in pump-probe femtosecond laser spectro- scopy and photoelectron spectroscopy.
• Ability to develop an active research program compatible with existing research infrastructure.
