About this position
Postdoctoral opening at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin for research on time-resolved soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy of correlated materials.
The position is in the Department of Physical Chemistry, led by Prof. Martin Wolf, and is connected to the Ultrafast Core-Level Spectroscopy Group led by Dr. Ugaitz Elu. The project focuses on ultrafast science, quantum materials, 2D van der Waals materials, strongly correlated systems, and electron–lattice dynamics. The successful candidate will work with a newly developed lab-based tr-XAS beamline and may collaborate with Prof. Jens Biegert at ICFO, Barcelona.
Research themes include photoinduced ultrafast phase transitions, Mott physics, electron–phonon coupling, phonon-assisted optical processes, and femtosecond structural/electronic dynamics. There is also the possibility to develop and perform liquid-jet tr-XAS experiments.
Eligibility highlights: a completed PhD in physics or a related subject; experience with advanced ultrafast pump-probe X-ray absorption spectroscopy; strong background in solid state physics, many-body physics, and electron correlation; experience with strongly correlated systems or 2D van der Waals materials; strong English communication skills; and programming skills in Python, MATLAB, Wolfram Mathematica, and EPICS. Experience with beamline instrumentation, FDMNES, or DFT tools such as Quantum ESPRESSO and Elk is advantageous.
Funding and conditions: the postdoc is initially limited to 2 years and paid under the TVÖD-E13 public servant scheme. The institute also offers a world-class laboratory environment, technical training, and additional professional development opportunities.
How to apply: submit the application through the online portal as soon as possible, including a CV, publication list, and names and email addresses of three references. The position remains open until filled.
