Research Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) - High Energy Density Physics | Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in (m/w/d) - Hochenergiedichtephysik (PostDoc)
Universität Rostock Zentr.UniVerwaltung Land MV
Job Summary
The University of Rostock is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in High Energy Density Physics to join the 'Dynamic Megabar Chemistry' (MEGACHEM) ERC project. This role involves conducting cutting-edge research into chemical processes under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, which are not found naturally on Earth. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, executing, and evaluating laser-driven dynamic compression experiments to synthesize novel carbon structures. This includes working with the High Energy Density Physics group's laser systems and at international large-scale research facilities like European XFEL and ELI Beamlines. Additionally, the role includes co-supervising students and doctoral candidates within the MEGACHEM project and publishing research findings. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated physicist with a strong background in high energy density physics and experimental work to contribute to groundbreaking scientific discoveries in a supportive and international academic environment.
Required Skills
Education
Doctorate (PhD) in Physics or a comparable field. Completed university degree (State Examination, Diploma, Master, or comparable) in Physics with a good academic record.
Experience
- Professional experience in high energy density physics, particularly with matter at Mbar range pressures
- Experience with experiments on laser-driven dynamic compression of matter
- Desirable: Experience with high-energy laser systems and sample preparation for such systems
- Experience in international research collaborations
Languages
Additional
- Fixed-term contract until March 31, 2030, subject to funding. Eligibility for a work permit in Germany if not an EU/EEA citizen.
