For our Lasers group we are looking for a

The Position In line with Strategy 2030+, European XFEL moves to broaden its scientific scope by providing intense THz and mid-IR radiation in combination with ultrashort X-ray pulses. Consequently, the Lasers Group (LAS) is working on the design and implementation of laser-based THz sources with parameters, defined by the users' requirements.

The PhD project will be collaboratively hosted by LAS and the Femtosecond X-ray Experiments (FXE) instrument. We aim at developing novel high-field THz and mid-IR l...
