Postdoctoral position in proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration, Munich, Max Planck Inst
Munich, Max Planck Inst. – Postdoc
Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration
The Max-Planck-Institute for Physics invites applications for a
Postdoctoral position
to participate in a new effort on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration.
The concept of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration has recently been proposed as a means of accelerating a bunch of electrons to high energies with very high gradients. Initial calculations are promising, as shown in Nature Physics 5, 363 – 367 (2009), and a demonstration experiment is now under consideration. The successful candidate would help in producing a proposal for such an experimental demonstration. The focus of the work would be on developing characterization techniques for the plasma wakefields and for the drive and witness bunches. An experimental technique under consideration to extract time and space resolved information on electric fields is single-shot electro-optical sampling.
Formal requirement for this position is a PhD in experimental particle, plasma or accelerator physics. Previous experience in plasma wakefield experiments, terahertz physics and/or nonlinear optics are an advantage.
Salary and benefits are commensurate with public service organization (TVöD) rules. The contract is initially limited to 2 years with the possibility of an extension. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. The goal is to enhance the percentage of women where they are underrepresented. Women, therefore, are especially encouraged to apply. The MPG is committed to employing more handicapped people. Applications of handicapped people are particularly welcome.
Interested applicants should submit an application letter, a statement of research interests, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of support to be sent to
