Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description Work Activities The new Short Wavelength Light Sources for EUV Metrology group at ARCNL, Amsterdam, has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher (2-year contract) . Project Overview: You will develop new ultrafast femtosecond-to-attosecond spectroscopy techniques in the EUV/soft-X-ray spectral range using a laboratory-based high-harmonic generation (HHG) setup. This includes: - Developing HHG-based spectroscopic and interferometric techniques to measure interface and layer properties in multilayer solids and liquids. - Designing methods to actively tune the EUV spectrum based on interlayer geometry and composition. - Investigating dynamical evolution at interfaces and contributing to bridging attosecond science with industrial applications. You will design and perform experiments , analyze data , and collaborate with other researchers within ARCNL and the ultrafast science community . The position also involves publishing results in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at international conferences. Qualifications Mandatory: You have (or will receive in the near future) a PhD degree in ultrafast light-matter interaction . You enjoy performing experiments and analysis to stepwise build a deeper understanding of complex physical mechanisms. For this position, we are particularly looking for a candidate who can combine state-of-the-art ultr...
