Postdoctoral Research Associate - ERC Project KEBAB | Research Associate for the ERC Project "KEBAB"

Job Summary

This role is a Postdoctoral Research Associate position within the DESY Attosecond Science Group at the Center for Free Electron Laser Science (CFEL) in Hamburg. You will lead the development of a novel chiroptical platform to study molecular recognition dynamics in the gas phase. Day-to-day responsibilities include designing laser-based studies of ultrafast processes, developing few-femtosecond light sources (specifically VUV sources), and operating advanced experimental instrumentation such as vacuum-based detection setups. You will also be responsible for data acquisition, numerical modeling, and preparing scientific publications. This position is highly attractive for researchers seeking to work at a world-leading research center with access to large-scale facilities like synchrotrons and free-electron lasers. The role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile ERC project (KEBAB) while benefiting from a flexible, family-friendly work environment and international collaboration opportunities.
