Postdoctoral Positions

We are open for recruiting an excellent laser engineer or a laser scientist in CPA fibre technology.

We are looking for extremely strong candidate on laser building architecture and with the will to extend her or his knowledge to applications in strong laser field-matter interaction, ultrafast control of matter and attosecond physics in condensed phase material.

The successful candidate will be in charge of developing a new fibre CPA system on a new laboratory area with advanced photonics homemade design. We will encourage successful candidate to take constructive initiatives and we will offer support on professional development.

The position is for a short term (6 months) at first and will be considered for extension on commissioning.

Candidate should demonstrate a strong record of accomplishment in laser architecture, CPA, fibre amplification, CEP locking and measurement, femtosecond pulse characterisation.

Candidate can have expertise in OPA and NOPA but his is not a requirement.

Candidate should have good communication skills, good team building approach, and commitment in delivering.

Candidate from master level and PhD will be considered providing they have enough knowledge and know how in laser science.

Candidate who have undertaken industrial internship are highly welcome as the outcome of the short term work will be considered for publications.

Successful candidate will be offered to participate to projects develop in the group that implies participation to experimental collaborations for extending their network.
