Postdoctoral Researcher in Surface Physics with Positrons | Physiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This Postdoctoral Researcher position involves cutting-edge experimental physics at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Research Neutron Source (FRM II) in Garching, Munich, one of the world's most powerful neutron sources. The successful candidate will be a scientifically proven expert in surface physics, primarily responsible for leading the setup and upgrade of a novel, multifunctional surface spectrometer. Day-to-day tasks include expanding Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) systems, preparing thin films, and operating various excitation sources, such as X-ray, electron, and positron beams, for surface-sensitive spectroscopy. The role requires conducting structural measurements and determining the chemical composition of surfaces. Key qualifications include deep knowledge of surface physics, expertise in building and modifying experimental vacuum and beam systems, and proficiency in computer-aided data acquisition and analysis, including spectrum evaluation and structural reconstruction. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to world-class research in positron physics within a leading technical university environment.
