Postdoc postition on High-Harmonic Metrology of Solids and Liquids, ARCNL, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Deadline: 01.05.2026)

The new Short Wavelength Light Sources for EUV Metrology group at ARCNL, Amsterdam, has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher (2-year contract).

Project Overview:

You will develop new ultrafast femtosecond-to-attosecond spectroscopy techniques in the EUV/soft-X-ray spectral range using a laboratory-based high-harmonic generation (HHG) setup. This includes:

  • Developing HHG-based spectroscopic and interferometric techniques to measure interface and layer properties in multilayer solids and liquids.

  • Designing methods to actively tune the EUV spectrum based on interlayer geometry and composition.

  • Investigating dynamical evolution at interfaces and contributing to bridging attosecond science with industrial applications.

You will design and perform experiments, analyze data, and collaborate with other researchers within ARCNL and the ultrafast science community. The position also involves publishing results in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at international conferences.
