Fellow (Post Doc)
Kansas State University
About This Role:
The J.R. Macdonald Laboratory at the Department of Physics, Kansas State University, is seeking four Fellow (Postdocs) in experimental ultrafast AMO physics. The Laboratory operates several state-of-the-art charged-particle imaging systems and light sources, including: a 100-kHz, 2-mJ laser system, several other femtosecond lasers and a couple of high-harmonic-generation sources that are used for studying ultrafast light-induced dynamics in atoms and molecules. Furthermore, we regularly conduct experiments at external X-ray free-electron laser and synchrotron radiation facilities in Stanford, CA, and Hamburg, Germany.
Some of the responsibilities and research projects include:
- Studies of light-matter interactions in strong-field and weak-field regime; multi-color pump-probe experiments in ultrafast AMO physics and photochemistry employing various electron and ion imaging techniques.
- Femtosecond-/attosecond experiments with XUV and X-ray radiation, both in-house and at external free-electron laser facilities.
- Imaging molecular dynamics of ion-beam targets using ultrafast, intense laser pulses.
Worksite Options:
This position is required to be performed on-site. Work is performed on employer premises or designated assignment location.
Visit this https://www.k-state.edu/hcs/policies/remote-work/index.html for K-State's guidance and policies on remote work and flexible work arrangements. Remote work agreements are required for all flexible work arrangements and are subject to review.
What You'll Need to Succeed:
Minimum Qualifications:
- Ph.D. (or equivalent) in physics, physical chemistry or a related field by the time the position begins.
