Postdoctoral Researcher in Ultrafast Coherent XUV Imaging of Quantum Materials

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at IMDEA Nanoscience in Madrid, Spain. The successful candidate will be responsible for constructing and running a high-harmonic generation based ultrafast coherent diffractive imaging beamline.

The beamline will be dedicated to measuring nanoscale dynamics inside quantum materials with high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution at cryogenic temperatures. The successful candidate will oversee all technical aspects of the new dedicated laboratory, including design, construction, commissioning, and operation.

The ideal candidate should have experience in high harmonic generation and XUV/soft X-rays, amplified femtosecond lasers, few-cycle pulse compression, and pulse characterization methods. Additionally, they should have knowledge of high and ultrahigh vacuum systems, cryogenics, compressed gas handling, and coherent imaging methods/computational imaging.

The candidate should also possess good communication skills, personal organization, and team spirit. The position is available from January 1st 2025, and we especially welcome applications from women and other under-represented groups in physics.
