Indirizzo
Forma di lavoroStanding out among the FEL sources currently operating worldwide in the ultraviolet and soft x-ray range, FERMI exploits external seeding to deliver fully coherent ultrashort pulses (in the femtosecond range) with a peak brightness ten billion times higher than that provided by third-generation light sources and unique reproducibility of pulse wavelength, linewidth and intensity. FERMI presents unparalleled opportunities for investigating the structure and transient states of condensed matter, soft matter, and low-density matter through a variety of diffraction, scattering, spectroscopy and resonant excitation techniques.
The TeraFERMI beamline collects high brightness, coherent THz radiation emitted by the FERMI linear accelerator and guide it to a dedicated THz Laboratory. Ultrashort, single-cycle THz pulses with MV/cm electric fields and Tesla magnetic fields are available for experiments on a broad class of materials. These features permit TeraFERMI scientists to drive physical systems out of equilibrium, shaping the material properties in a desired manner. See http://www.elettra.eu/lightsources/fermi/fermi-eamlines/terafermi/terafermi.htmlfor more information.
The postdoctoral position at the TeraFERMI beamline offers a unique opportunity for researchers aiming to make impactful contributions to THz research. The successful candidate will work with advanced instrumentation based on ultra-fast laser technologies, and contribute to the development of novel experimental set-ups for multicolor pump-probe and single-shot THz spectroscopies. The role also demands a proactive approach to supporting users through every phase of their activity at the beamline, from preparing the experimental set-up to conducting complex data analysis and writing scientific manuscripts. The position will enable the postdoctoral researcher to shape and lead internal research projects in the emerging field of quantum materials with a particular emphasis on Dirac materials and other low-dimensional systems, seek research funding by actively participating in proposal writing, and fostering partnerships with external academic and research institutions. Mentoring students and nurturing their scientific development are also valued aspects of the role.
