Helm­holtz-Zen­trum Dres­den-Ros­sen­dorf e.V.

With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.

The Institute of Radiation Physics conducts research for states of matter under extreme conditions and in very small dimensions.

The Department of High-field THz driven Phenomena is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy on molecular dynamics in a liquid jet.

PhD Student (f/m/d) Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy on molecular dynamics in a liquid jet

English

Working field:

  • Optical experiments on molecular dynamics in a liquid jet using laser- and accelerator-based pulsed light sources.
  • Set-up and optical characterization of a liquid jet using various optical techniques mainly based on femtosecond optical lasers.
  • Integrating the liquid jet into terahertz-based optical experiments both for THz time-domain spectroscopy and THz pump – optical probe experiments.
  • Experiments on THz-driven phenomena in various liquids particularly including water and aqueous solutions of biologically relevant samples.

Requirements:

  • Completed university studies (Master/Diploma) in the field of Physics, Physical chemistry, Optics, Biophysics or related field
  • Experience in nonlinear optics, femtosecond lasers, terahertz spectroscopy and ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy
  • Basic experience with wet lab work is an advantage
