Basovizza, Italia Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste A tempo pieno

Deadline: 01 October 2024
Ref: DB/24/44

**_Background_**

**_Beamline / Project / Activity description_**

The EIS-TIMEX beamline is designed for time-resolved (< 100 fs) experiments on light-excited condensed matter by using the FERMI FEL in the 1.7-80 nm wavelength range and a Ti:Sa fs-laser (260-800nm) as synchronized and fully coherent sources for pump-probe experiments. Main research activities include the study of condensed matter under non-equilibrium conditions, both in high-energy density regimes and below the damage threshold, as well as nonlinear effects in materials (stimulated emission, absorption saturation, spectral broadening, sum frequency or second harmonic generation) in the extreme ultraviolet energy range.

Time-resolved transmission absorption spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet range is the main technique at the beamline. Scattering techniques and other time-resolved spectroscopies are also available, preferably in combination with the EUV spectrometer “WEST” positioned downstream of the experimental chamber. Pilot ultrafast electron diffraction experiments were successfully carried out using the FEL as a pump.

More recently, the beamline has been used for investigating the electronic ultrafast response of functional materials and chemical compounds exposed to sub-ps light pulses. Additional classes of novel experiments include activating and monitoring slow molecular vibrational modes through combined FEL and fs-laser pulses, as well as impulsive stimulated x-ray Raman scattering in materials. In November 2023, unprecedented amplified spontaneous emission experiments from high pressure gases were carried out using a novel experimental set-up

**_Job description_**

**_Qualifications_**

A background in experimental methods for FELs/synchrotrons or table-top lasers, supported by a publication record commensurate with career advancement, is required.

Any of the following qualifications will be considered as an additional asset (please, indicate relevant publications or thesis):

- Programming skills in Python or Matlab, including interfacing of instruments.
- Demonstrated ability in computational physics or data processing.
- Use and maintenance of high vacuum experimental set-ups.

Good time management skills and ability to prioritize are expected, together with the ability to interact with the facility staff and international users at all levels, and to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Good oral and written communication skills in English are essential.
