Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Ultrafast Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences - Berkeley Lab, Berkeley, California, USA

We have an opening for a postdoc in the Theoretical Ultrafast Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences (AMOS) program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The person holding this position will develop theoretical and computational methods for the sophisticated treatment of the interaction of femtosecond and attosecond pulses of UV and X-ray radiation with atoms and molecules. They will apply ab initio theoretical methods for polyatomic molecular photoionization already developed by the AMOS theory group to such problems and extend those methods to treat new problems in ultrafast AMO physics. An essential goal of this position is to develop theoretical models and interpretations of ionizing pump/probe dynamics, attosecond time delays and other multipulse ultrafast experiments involving short-pulsed lasers, high harmonic generation, and the X-ray pulses produced by free-electron laser facilities.

Please bring this opening to the attention of suitable members of your group who would be available to start such a position as soon as this summer.
