Helm­holtz-Zen­trum Dres­den-Ros­sen­dorf e.V.

Through cut­ting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MAT­TER, Helm­holtz-Zen­trum Dresden-Rossen­dorf (HZDR) solves some of the press­ing soci­etal and indus­trial chal­lenges of our time. Join our 1.500 employ­ees from more than 50 nations at one of our six research sites and help us mov­ing research to the next level!

The Insti­tute of Radi­ation Phys­ics con­ducts research for states of mat­ter under extreme con­di­tions and in very small dimen­sions.
As part of the Insti­tute, the Depart­ment of Laser Particle Accel­er­a­tion invites applic­a­tions as PhD Stu­dent (f/m/d) Per­form­ing and ana­lyz­ing large scale par­al­lel sim­u­la­tions on HZDR laser sys­tems DRACO and PENELOPE.

The pos­i­tion will be avail­able from 1 August 2023. The employ­ment con­tract is lim­ited to three years.

PhD Stu­dent (f/m/d) Per­form­ing and ana­lyz­ing large scale par­al­lel sim­u­la­tions on short high-intens­ity laser pulse inter­ac­tion with solids

Working field:

  • Assist the under­stand­ing of exper­i­ments from our HZDR laser sys­tems DRACO and PENE­LOPE by per­form­ing and ana­lyz­ing large scale par­al­lel sim­u­la­tions
  • Work in our team on Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Phys­ics, sim­u­lat­ing and under­stand­ing fun­da­men­tal pro­ces­ses that occur dur­ing the inter­ac­tion of high power lasers with solids or near crit­ical dens­ity tar­gets
  • Deve­lop new mod­ules for PICon­GPU accord­ing to the exper­i­men­tal needs, e.g. to sim­u­late new prob­ing detec­tor sig­nals (e.g. spec­tro­met­ers)
  • Par­ti­cip­ate in our team's effort to deve­lop new exper­i­men­tal ideas includ­ing tay­lor­ing the inter­ac­tion pro­cess, prob­ing the self emis­sion of the laser irra­di­ated plas­mas, or per­form­ing prob­ing exper­i­ments at HIBEF (EuropeanX­FEL)

Requirements:

  • Mas­ter`s degree in Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Phys­ics or clo­sely rela­ted dis­cip­line
  • Exper­i­ence in com­puter sim­u­la­tions, ide­ally pre­vi­ous exper­i­ence on com­puter clus­ters
  • lnte­rest in the under­stand­ing of the phys­ics of inter­ac­tions of high power lasers with solids, ide­ally you have know­ledge on plasma phys­ics or radi­at­ive prop­er­ties of warm to hot mat­ter
  • You are com­fort­able in Eng­lish lan­guage
  • Help­ful, but not requi­red is the know­ledge of C++, python, and pro­gram­ming for accel­er­at­ors

What we offer:

  • A vibrant rese­arch com­munity in an open, diverse and inter­na­tio­nal work envir­on­ment
  • Sci­ent­i­fic excel­lence and extens­ive pro­fes­sio­nal net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies
  • A struc­tured PhD pro­gram with a com­pre­hens­ive range of con­tinu­ing edu­ca­tion and net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies - more inform­a­tion about the PhD pro­gram at the HZDR can be found here
  • The employ­ment con­tract is lim­ited to three years
  • Salary and social bene­fits in accord­ance with the col­lect­ive agree­ment for the pub­lic sec­tor (TVöD-Bund) includ­ing 30 days of paid hol­i­day leave, com­pany pen­sion scheme (VBL)
  • We sup­port a good work-life bal­ance with the pos­sib­il­ity of part-time employ­ment and flex­ible work­ing hours
  • Numer­ous com­pany health man­age­ment offer­ings
  • An employer sub­sidy for the VVO job ticket
