Offer Description
Beamline / Project / Activity description
The EIS-TIMER beamline, located at the FERMI FEL, is purposely designed for performing transient grating (TG) experiments in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray range, with the aim of investigating condensed matter dynamics at the nanoscale and the outlook of developing a broader set of soft x-ray four wave mixing (XFWM) spectroscopies. Comprehensive information on the beamline can be found at: www.elettra.eu/lightsources/fermi/fermi-beamlines/eis-timer/eis-timer.html .
The user community and the staff of the beamline have a strong record of publishing high profile scientific results. At present the main topics are, ultrafast magnetic dynamics, phonons and thermal transport at the nanoscale.
Job description
The postdoctoral position at the EIS-TIMER beamline offers a unique opportunity for researchers aiming to make significant contributions to experimental research in EUV TG. Possible research projects, recently started via explorative EUV TG measurements, encompass the development of self-diffraction spectroscopy and the study of the nonlinear mechanical response of surfaces and thin films. The role demands a proactive approach to supporting beamline users through every phase of their activity at the beamline, from preparing the experimental set-up to conducting complex data analysis and writing scientific manuscripts. Active participation in maintenance and upgrade activities of the beamline and experimental end-stations is expected. In addition the postdoctoral researcher is expected to develop his/her own original research projects, mainly based on (but not limited to) EUV TG.

Skills/Qualifications
A Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry or a related discipline is required. The candidate must not have more than 6-years of total postdoctoral experience in academic institutions or private companies. Applications will be considered also from candidates who have completed a doctoral course of studies and for whom the defense has been scheduled. In any case, the Ph.D. must be awarded by the end of February 2024.
A solid background in FEL or synchrotron experimental methods, EUV/x-ray instrumentation, or table-top time-resolved methods based on optical lasers, supported by a publication record commensurate with career advancement, is expected.
Any of the following qualifications will be considered as an additional asset (please indicate relevant publications or thesis):
- Research experience in the fields of transport processes, non-linear optics, magnetism, strongly correlated materials or amorphous solids (especially dynamics).
- Use and basic maintenance of pulsed laser systems and optical setups.
- Participation in experimental campaigns at synchrotron/FEL user facilities, or table-top laser experiments.
- Programming skills in Python or Matlab, including interfacing of instruments.
- Demonstrated ability in computational physics or data processing.
The successful candidate should possess strong interpersonal skills favoring collaborative research programs in a team-oriented environment.
Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, together with the ability to interact with the facility staff and international users at all levels, and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Good oral and written communication skills in English are essential.
