Postdoc position Ultrafast Condensed Matter Physics, PSI, Villigen, Switzerland

You will investigate the ultrafast dynamics of electronic, magnetic and structural properties in perovskite and related materials. That also requires the characterisation of static properties of the materials. The goal is to understand the different basic interaction in solids and how they determine the dynamical properties. Experiments are based on ultrafast pump-probe techniques including the use of X-rays as a probe. For this purpose, you will perform X-ray scattering and X-ray spectroscopy experiments on the ultrafast time scales. Static experiments are performed at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) at the PSI and ultrafast dynamics will be studied at the X-ray free electron laser SwissFEL at PSI, or other XFEL's such as the LCLS (Stanford, USA), SACLA (Japan) or the Eu-XFEL in Hamburg. These investigations will be in close collaboration with colleagues of other groups in and outside of PSI.
