About this position
The Department of Structural Dynamics at ELI Beamlines is seeking a PhD candidate to work at the Transient Current Technique (TCT) end-station on laser-based characterization of semiconductor particle detectors, with a particular focus on low-gain avalanche diodes (LGADs).
The project centers on developing advanced measurement methods and software for detector characterization using ultrashort laser pulses. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and validation of automated measurement procedures, instrument control and data acquisition, as well as software tools for processing transient-current waveforms and extracting detector parameters from spatially resolved measurements.
The role includes experimental studies of semiconductor detectors, participation in the operation and further development of the TCT end-station, and support for visiting scientific teams during experiments. The work is embedded in an international research environment at ELI Beamlines, a major high-power laser research facility near Prague, where the candidate will collaborate with national and international partners and contribute to scientific publications and presentations.
The position combines research at ELI Beamlines in Dolní Břežany with doctoral studies at Czech Technical University in Prague, subject to admission.

What's required
A Master's degree in physics, applied physics, electronics, photonics or a related field is required and must be completed before admission to doctoral studies at Czech Technical University in Prague. Applicants should have a strong interest in experimental research involving semiconductor devices, optical instrumentation or detector physics; previous TCT experience is not required. Basic programming skills and willingness to develop software for measurement automation and scientific data analysis are expected. Good spoken and written English and the ability to work effectively in an international research team are required. Experience with LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB or similar scientific programming tools is an advantage, and practical laboratory experience with electronics, optical instrumentation, pulsed lasers or automated positioning systems is also an advantage.
