Indirizzo
Forma di lavoroThe EIS-TIMER beamline, located at the FERMI FEL, is purposely designed for performing transient grating (TG) experiments in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray range, with the aim of investigating condensed matter dynamics at the nanoscale and the outlook of developing a broader set of soft x-ray four wave mixing (XFWM) spectroscopies. Comprehensive information on the beamline can be found at: www.elettra.eu/lightsources/fermi/fermi-beamlines/eis-timer/eis-timer.html .
The user community and the staff of the beamline have a strong record of publishing high profile scientific results. At present the main topics are, ultrafast magnetic dynamics, phonons and thermal transport at the nanoscale.
The postdoctoral Position at the EIS-TIMER beamline offers a unique opportunity for researchers aiming to make significant contributions to experimental research in EUV TG. Possible research projects, recently started via explorative EUV TG measurements, encompass the development of self-diffraction spectroscopy and the study of the nonlinear mechanical response of surfaces and thin films. The role demands a proactive approach to supporting beamline 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. Active participation in maintenance and upgrade activities of the beamline and experimental end-stations is expected. In addition the postdoctoral researcher is expected to develop his/her own original research projects, mainly based on (but not limited to) EUV TG.
