The Division of Atomic Physics has a staff of over 50 researchers including guest researchers and graduate students. The research at the division is mainly based on the use of lasers, ranging from diode lasers to terawatt lasers at the High-Power Laser Facility. Some areas of research are: physics with high intensity laser pulses, attosecond science. VUV/XUV laser spectroscopy, quantum electronics, quantum optics and solid state spectroscopy, applied molecular spectroscopy, laser applications in medicine and biology, and industrial applications. More information can be found at http://www.atomic.physics.lu.se/.
Subject description We are looking for a researcher in attosecond physics. The subject is the study of photoionization dynamics using pump/probe techniques with attosecond light pulses either in a train or isolated.
Work duties The work will be to operate, maintain and upgrade a femtosecond 1 kHz titanium-sapphire laser system, generate attosecond pulses by high-order harmonic generation in gases, transport and manipulate XUV radiation, and perform applications in atomic and molecular systems in gas phase. Part of the work will be to develop an isolated attosecond pulse source and its applications, using few-cycle laser pulses obtained after post compression in a capillary.
Supervision of master degree projects and PhD students is expected.
Qualification requirements Applicants must have:
Assessment criteria and other qualifications Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development. Experience in the theoretical description of the interaction of ultrashort pulses with matter is an additional merit.
