It operates a 3.4 km-long X-ray laser, which produces X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and other disciplines. The diverse scientific facilities at European XFEL enable scientists from across the globe to carry out a wide range of experimental techniques. For our FEL Physics group we are looking for an . Postdoctoral Scientist (f/m/d) for attosecond generation . The Position . The successful candidate will join the European XFEL FEL Physics Group to work on the AttoSASE project within the Attosecond strategy program at the European XFEL. Generation of attosecond pulses at SASE3 and SASE2 both in the soft and hard x-ray ranges has been demonstrated. The project involves improving reliability of the delivery and extending generation capabilities. The successful candidate will co-lead the R&D work package of the project together with a colleague hired by DESY for the same purpose. They will jointly fulfill the following tasks and responsibilities:. Simulation studies of shaping radiation properties along the attosecond pulse. Simulation studies on further improvement of peak power and duration of the attosecond pulse. Study of other schemes such as super radiant pulse generation. Analysis (at SASE 2 and SASE3, together with acceler
