Villigen PSI, Schweiz Paul Scherrer Institut PSI Vollzeit

**Your tasks**:

- You will explore coherent orbital excitation as a novel method to investigate and control quantum materials in the time domain. Your tasks include setting up a novel source of circularly polarized THz pulses in our laser lab and employ it at the Bernina beamline of SwissFEL. By combining ultrafast x-ray diffraction experiments with lab-based studies, you will identify the induced magnetic and structural dynamics and their coupling. You will discuss and present the scientific results at conferences and publish them in journals relevant to the field.

**Your profile**:

- We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with a PhD degree in physics or a related field and experience in ultrafast spectroscopy, x-ray scattering techniques, or the study of quantum materials. Familiarity with laser systems and THz radiation is a plus - we also welcome applicants who are eager to learn and grow in these areas. We value collaborative team members who are open to interdisciplinary work and proactive in sharing and discussing ideas.

**We offer**:

- Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.Your employment contract is limited to 2 Years with a possible extension to 3 Years.
