As part of the Attoworld of Prof. Ferenc Krausz at the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Garching near Munich, the Field-resolved Infrared Spectroscopy team combines cutting-edge femtosecond laser technologies [1-3] with detection by electro-optic sampling to advance a new type of mid-infrared spectroscopy on the electric-field level [4]. The new systems are developed and utilized by a highly interdisciplinary team of physicists, data scientists, biologists and clinical personal to identify, via minuscule variations in the infrared response of human blood samples, medical conditions such as cancer [5].
Your tasks and responsibilities:
We offer you an interesting and fulfilling job with good opportunities for further training and development. Your workplace is located at the Forschungszentrum Garching and is easily accessible by public transport. You will be paid according to the TV-L salary scale up to salary group 13 (TV-L E13), depending on your professional qualifications. This position is initially limited to two years with the possibility of extension.
Further benefits at the LMU:
Also possible in a part-time capacity.
We are looking for an experienced postdoc-level scientist to work together with PhD students on the extension of the spectral coverage of field-resolved spectroscopy to longer wavelengths in the far infrared and THz regime. The goal is to reach seamless spectral coverage over the range 1-100 THz with sufficient signal/noise to perform analysis biologically relevant samples. Profound experimental experience and theoretical background of ultrafast laser technology and nonlinear optics is required for this position.
People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.
