The AG Weinelt studies ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials initiated by ultrashort optical
laser pulses. This includes single and collective quasiparticle dynamics to unravel signatures
of non-equilibrium dynamics and phase transitions in the transient electronic structure. We
have a strong background and reputation in state-selective and spin-sensitive time- and
angle-resolved photoemission techniques. Beyond our laboratory-based research, we
established new experimental infrastructure at the FemtoSpeX Slicing beamline of the
Synchrotron Source BESSY II (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin) and are building a new end station
for FLASH. With this new state-of-the-art experimental equipment for time-resolved X-ray
scattering and absorption we study state- and element specific dynamics.
full-time job
limited to 3 years
salary grade (Entgeltgruppe) 13 TV-L FU
reference code: Postdoc_AG_Weinelt
We are searching for a Postdoc in the field of Ultrafast Science, who is experienced in the
Generation of Higher Order Harmonics and their application for time-resolved photoelectron
spectroscopy. Your area of responsibility involves to maintain, further develop, and supervise
a project on ultrafast spin and carrier dynamics in magnetic systems. The current setup
consists of a 10 kHz – 2 mJ femtosecond laser source (KMLabs Red Dragon and
OPA+DFG) and a hemispherical electron analyzer for time-resolved photoelectron
spectroscopy.
You are willing to work in a team including PhD and Master students and supervise their
thesis works. You are welcome to actively participate in other research activities of our
group, e.g., beamtimes at large-scale facilities, such as Free Electron Lasers. You will
become an associated member of the CRC/TRR 227 Ultrafast Spin Dynamics and of its
Graduate School.
You are willing to participate in the subordinate teaching of the department with 4 semester
hours per week.
The position serves the scientific qualification in the field of research and the acquisition of
skills in the field of ultrafast carrier and spin dynamics in solid state materials.
Requirements:
Doctorate in Physics
Desirable:
The desired qualifications of the applicant include relevant experience in the following subject
areas: Experiments with ultrashort laser pulses, higher-order harmonic generation, time-
resolved photoemission spectroscopy, ultra-high vacuum technology, construction and
operation of a measuring apparatus for photoemission.
Applications should be sent by e-mail, together with significant documents, indicating the
reference code, no later than December 16th, 2024, in PDF format (preferably as one
document) to Prof. Dr. Martin Weinelt: weinelt@physik.fu-berlin.de or postal to
