Postdoctoral Fellowships in Ultrafast X-ray Science, Stanford University, U.S.A (2016)

Applications are now invited for post-doctoral fellowship opportunities in Ultrafast X-ray Science at Stanford PULSE Institute. A particular focus is in the area of strong field and attosecond physics in solids including generation of high order harmonics [http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v7/n2/full/nphys1847.html]. Our future experiments include the use of high harmonics to image novel strong-field processes in the condensed phase and in attosecond pulse metrology.

Successful candidates will use our state-of-the-art Ti:sapphire based high-intensity mid-infrared laser system and harmonic generation chambers. Our laboratories are in close proximity to world’s first x-ray free-electron laser, Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Our researchers take advantage of collaborative environment among the PULSE research groups and with the LCLS.
Desired skills and experience

Our candidates must have a PhD degree with a strong background in ultrafast lasers and optics. Experience with femtosecond and attosecond pulse generation and measurement, high harmonic generation, pump-probe experiments, XUV spectroscopy or electron/ion time-of-flight measurements are relevant to these positions.
