The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Project is an integral part of the European Union plan to build the next generation of large research facilities. ELI-Beamlines was opened in 2015 as a cutting edge laser facility and currently is starting to offer open access beamtime to users. ELI-Beamlines is delivering ultrashort, ultra-intense laser pulses lasting typically a few femtoseconds (12-150 fs) with peak powers ranging from 5 TW up to 10 PW. It will make available time synchronized laser beams over wide range intensities for wide range of interdisciplinary applications in physics, medicine, biology, material science etc. The high laser electric field intensities of the laser pulse is also used for generating secondary sources of e- and p+. ELI Beamlines is a part of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and it was open in 2015.
The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is a holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award. It is awarded by the European Commission to institutions which put significant effort into improving their human resources strategy and ensuring professional and ethical working conditions.
The research group RP5 (Laser-plasma interaction in the widest sense) is expanding and recruiting an experimental physicist in relevant fields for implementation, commissioning, operation and further development of the P3 (Plasma Physics Platform) infrastructure. In our team we therefore have the following positions available for experimental high-power laser-matter interaction:
Senior & Junior Scientist
Experimental HED Physics (IV-52)
The candidate is supposed to work predominantly on the following topics:
- design, development, installation, and commissioning of diagnostic systems and other technological infrastructure elements related to P3
- develop research activities in either high-energy or high-intensity laser-matter interaction
- participation in the commissioning and user operation phase
- the candidate has sufficient flexibility to work on other urgent tasks related to the operation of the P3 infrastructure
Requirements:
- PhD in physics or closely related field
- past experience in laser-plasma interaction (technology and/or experiment) is a plus
- good track record in publications
- experience in optical engineering aspects is an advantage
- good knowledge of spoken and written English is necessary
- ability to take initiative and perform tasks independently
We offer:
- the opportunity to participate in this unique scientific project
- competitive and motivating salary
- flexible working hours
- nice working environment
- career growth
- lunch vouchers, pension contribution and 5 unjustified sick days
- support of leisure time activities
Applications, containing CV, cover letter, contacts of references, and any other material the candidate considers relevant, should be sent to Mrs. Jana Ženíšková, HR specialist ([email protected] , +420 - 601560322).
