lasers and technology
for infrared molecular fingerprinting

The successful candidate will join the field-resolved infrared spectroscopy team at the attoworld in Garching, Germany (www.attoworld.de/fris), to develop next-generation instruments based on bright, coherent, broadband mid-infrared sources and field-resolved detection. The goal for this position is to optimize the sensitivity, with which the electric-field response of a biological can be detected and separated from the excitation pulse. The duration of the position is initially 2 years, with the possibility of extension.
- Excellent PhD in physics or a related discipline.;
- Experience with ultrafast lasers and nonlinear optics;
- Ideally, experience with infrared and/or nonlinear spectroscopies;
- Strong self-motivation and the ability to solve problems independently;
- Interest in interdisciplinary work with interface to biomedical applications;
- Good command of the English language.
- Become part of the attoworld - a team of outstanding experts in ultrafast laser development, attosecond physics, ultrasensitive metrology and advanced multilayer coatings;
- Access to the latest technologies, state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment;
- Excellent research and working conditions;
- Supportive, highly motivated, and multi-disciplinary team;
- Pleasant working atmosphere with many learning opportunities;
- Open-minded, inspiring, dynamic and international atmosphere;
- Personal and professional training opportunities.
