Two research assistants (EG 13 TV-H) - in the department Experimental Physics IV

Part-time with half of the regular working time of a full-time employee. The positions are initially limited for 2 years (§ 2 Abs. 1 WissZeitVG; PhD possibility).

Your tasks:

• Collaboration in the research project "Extreme light for the analysis and control of molecular chirality".
• Set-up of an apparatus for angular and energy resolved electron spectroscopy according to the principle of velocity map imaging (VMI)
• Conception, preparation and implementation of synchrotron radiation based experiments
• Design and implementation of a heated sample chamber for in-vacuum investigation of samples with low vapor pressure
• Setup of a UV-Vis absorption and emission spectrometer
• Assistance in experiments with free electron lasers
• Evaluation of scientific results using state-of-the-art data analysis techniques
• Evaluation of measurement data and their theoretical modeling
• Preparation of scientific publications

Your requirements:

• Completed scientific university studies in the field of physics or comparable qualification
• Measurement time experience at synchrotron radiation sources, especially BESSY II and PETRA III
• Knowledge in molecular chirality and spectroscopy (electrons, ions and photons)
• Experience in (ultra-)high vacuum technology and sample preparation in supersonic expansion beams
• experience in the Python programming language
• extensive experience in absorption and emission spectroscopy

• Negotiation skills in the English language, knowledge of the relevant technical literature

Advantageous are:

• Knowledge in (angular and position resolved) electron and ion time-of-flight spectroscopy in coincidence.
• Knowledge in ultrafast physics, especially pump-probe experiments
• experience in working with free electron lasers
• thorough and independent working style
• a high degree of organizational skills

• experience in preparing scientific publications
