Open PhD position in “High-Performance Computing for Attochemistry: Electron Dynamics Induced by Ultrashort Pulses” - Featured

PhD thesis project: The project will explore novel attosecond and sub-femtosecond pump-probe schemes combining pulses generated in a frequency range from the VIS-UV up to the X-ray region to access electron dynamics in molecules. It is developed within the MATRIX (“Matter in Action with Optical and X-ray Lasers”) consortium, which will provide specific training and close interaction with the experimental groups within the network.

Candidate Profile:
– Master’s degree in physics, chemistry or related fields.
– Interest in developing theoretical methods for light-matter interactions (attosecond science, ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, molecular photoionization).
– Background in numerical methods and/or programming skills (compiled or interpreted languages) will be valued.

Position details:
– 36-month duration contract. Starting date: within 2025, preferably, September 1st.
– Application deadline: July 10th, 2025.

Application: Candidates should send a CV (indicating references if possible), a letter of motivation and the records transcript to [email protected] For further information on the post, use the same contact.
