Postdoctoral Appointee in Free-Electron Lasers Driven by Laser-Plasma Accelerators Argonne National Laboratory in United States

Argonne National Laboratory is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in accelerator physics and free-electron laser (FEL) science at its Lemont, Illinois, USA site. The successful candidate will contribute to the conceptual design of a compact, wakefield-driven X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) for attosecond science. The postdoctoral appointee will lead technical work in beam dynamics and FEL modeling, including start-to-end simulations connecting injector and linac performance to X-ray output. R...

European XFEL is offering a postdoctoral scientist position for attosecond generation in its FEL Physics Group in the Hamburg area, Germany. The successful candidate will join the AttoSASE project within the wider Attosecond strategy program and work on improving the delivery, reliability, and generation capabilities of attosecond pulses at SASE3 and SASE2 in the soft and hard X-ray ranges. The role focuses on R&D in free-electron laser physics and includes simulation studies on shaping radiatio...

PhD studentship at the University of Arizona on DNS of hypersonic boundary-layer transition . The project uses high-fidelity Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to study stability and laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers at hypersonic speeds ( M = 4 to 14 ). Research topics include the physical mechanisms governing the linear and nonlinear stages of transition, breakdown to turbulence, and the investigation of promising flow-control methods using high-fidelity DNS. The position is well...
