德国亥姆霍兹柏林材料与能源研究中心(HZB)博士后职位—磁性材料超快动力学

Postdoc (f/m/d) in Physics on Ultrafast Dynamics of Magnetic Materials

Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin

Description

The Institute for Electronic Structure Dynamics develops experimental techniques and infrastructure for studying dynamics of elemental microscopic processes in novel material systems. At the synchrotron radiation source BESSY II, we operate the Femtoslicing facility, which is a unique station for ultrafast dynamics studies of mostly magnetic materials. This station is used by researchers from all over the world and is a central research instrument for the Colloborative Research Center TRR 227 “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), to which HZB contributes with its own research program. Your task as a postdoc in our group will be the scientific and technical operation of this station, in particular within activities of TRR227.

Your Tasks

  You will support our users, mainly from TRR227 in planning and carrying out their experiments at the Femtoslicing Facility and in analyzing the obtained experimental data.

  You will participate in HZB research activities on ultrafast magnetisation dynamics using x-ray-based time-resolved methods, also with your own research program.

  You will operate, commission, and maintain the instrumentation of the Femtoslicing facility. Furthermore, you will get the chance to further develop it as well.

Your Profile

  PhD in the field of experimental physics, preferably on dynamics processes in functional materials

  Comprehensive knowledge of magnetism, ultrafast magnetic dynamics, and dynamics of phase transitions

  Comprehensive knowledge of operation and use of short-pulse x-ray sources and femtosecond-laser systems for ultrafast magnetic dynamics research

  Good knowledge of procedures and processes at BESSY II, in particular those related to user operation

  Very good English language skills

Your Benefits at HZB

  A job at one of the 18 Helmholtz centres

  Work in the research environment of the science metropolis Berlin

  The opportunity to contribute together with researchers from all around the world to the development of renewable energies, energy stores and next-gen technologies for a climate-friendly future

  Work/life balance

  Flexible work hours with flexitime

  39-hour week

  30 days paid leave

  Mobile working on up to three days/week

  Comprehensive counselling services for family and career

  Health management and company sports programmes

  Financial support for public transport (Jobticket)

  Continuing education opportunities

  A company pension scheme (VBL)

  And a team that looks forward to meeting you!

Fixed term contract for 12 months. The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund).
