Ultrafast laser scientist position at UK's Central Laser Facility

Details:
The Central Laser Facility is seeking a facility operations scientist with a background in ultrafast laser spectroscopy to join the ULTRA facility, in Oxfordshire, UK. ULTRA specialises in the provision of world-class high repetition-rate ultrafast vibrational spectroscopic techniques for multidisciplinary UK and international research in the physical and life sciences.

The ULTRA facility has recently been awarded major funding from the UKRI Infrastructure fund, to provide the next generation of ultrafast laser spectroscopy facilities, HiLUX.

Examples of our ultrafast spectroscopy systems include multi-dimensional spectroscopies (2D IR and 2D visible), advanced Raman spectroscopies (ultrafast stimulated Raman and Kerr-gated Raman), vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy and broadband transient spectroscopies across femtosecond to second timescales.

There are opportunities to learn and develop your own knowledge and skills, publish your work, to participate in international conferences and to apply for facility beam-time or grants.

The ideal candidate profile can be of two kinds:

Profile 1 – Development of simulation software
• Knowledge or interest in scientific computations and high performance calculations
• Knowledge or interest of modern programming practices and organization of software projects
• Programming experience e.g. in Python (numpy), C/C++, Fortran, OpenCL or CUDA

Profile 2 – Molecular simulations using classical force-fields
• Perform modeling of non-covalent interactions between molecules on ionic substrates
• Participate in the design of molecular structure to optimize deterministic self-assembling
• Data analysis of computational results and collaboration with AFM/STM experiments

Common requirements
• MSc in Physics, Chemistry or Computer Science
• Good spoken and written English
• Initiative, creativity and ability to solve problems independently

Offer
• Obtaining a PhD degree in Physics at Charles University or chemistry at UCT Prague
• Opportunity to achieve a major breakthrough in nanofabrication
• PhD fully funded for 4 years (till 2026)
• Collaboration with top labs in the field of on-surface chemistry and AFM/STM microscopy
• Training and development opportunities (soft skills, language courses)
• Flexible working hours with home office possibility
