AdresseThe Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) is an institutional cooperation of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research GmbH in Darmstadt. It links the academic world of a university with the scientific possibilities of an internationally renowned unique large-scale accelerator center for ions. In the coming years the new international accelerator facility FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), one of the largest research projects worldwide, will be built at Darmstadt.
The HIM research section Superheavy Elements Physics invites outstanding candidates to apply for a
Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Laser Spectroscopy (all genders)
Posting ID: 22.117-4314
for a two-year contract starting at the earliest possible date. The position will be located in Mainz.
The position is embedded in the project on laser spectroscopy of heavy and superheavy elements at the velocity filter SHIP at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum in Darmstadt. The project aims at the development and implementation of novel approaches in laser spectroscopy in combination with gas-stopping techniques and includes experiments with heavy actinides.
Your Tasks
The successful candidate is expected to
- develop methods for resonance ionization laser spectroscopy in gas cells and gas-jets,
- participate in experiments for the investigation of actinides and transactinides by resonance-ionization laser spectroscopy,
- set up, develop, and optimize customized laser systems (dye- und solid state, pulsed and cw),
- contribute to the supervision of Bachelor, Master und PhD students.
Your Qualifications
We expect
- a PhD or equivalent degree in experimental atomic or nuclear physics,
- sound experience in resonance ionization laser spectroscopy with radionuclides,
- experience in the operation of laser systems (dye- und solid state, pulsed and cw),
- good communication skills in English (both verbal and written).
Knowledge in software development for experiment control, and data analysis is desirable.
We offer a fixed-term 2-years postdoc position with the salary and benefits based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund) effective at GSI.
GSI and HIM encourage the professional development of women and welcome women to feel particularly addressed by the call for applications.
Persons with handicap will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.
