Jobbeschreibung

European XFEL is an international non-profit company located in the Hamburg area in Germany. It operates a 3.4 km-long X-ray laser, which produces X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and other disciplines. The diverse scientific facilities at European XFEL enable scientists from across the globe to carry out a wide range of experimental techniques.

As part of European XFEL's strategic program, it has been decided to focus on the unique emerging possibilities for attosecond science using the ultrashort and intense X‑ray laser beams that the facility can generate. In particular, research opportunities in nonlinear X-ray – matter interactions and ultrafast diffraction/imaging are targeted with this position as Postdoc in the MID group.
