Job Description
The MaxBornInstitute invites applications for Postdoctoral scientists (m/f/d) in the field of Precision measurements for fundamental tests of physics
Job profile:
The Division of Precision Physics of MBI seeks the appointment of postdoctoral scientists in the field of precision spectroscopy with frequency combs. The project within the ERC Advanced Grant COMB is focused on the experimental development of a new concept of precision measurements with frequency combs. A revolutionary spectrometer will simultaneously achieve broad spectral coverage high resolution and extreme accuracy for precise studies of small molecules. A crucial part of the project involves the experimental development of a new measurement technique its application to precise spectroscopy in small molecules and the realization of new tests of quantum electrodynamics in molecules.
The postdoctoral scientists will develop a novel type of spectrometer and will in particular be involved in the frequency stabilization of the laser systems. Realizing the first spectroscopy experiments evaluating the systematic effects induced by the instrument extension to different spectral regions will also be part of the tasks for the postdoctoral scientists who will work in a team around this multifaceted project together with scientists focused onto other aspects of the project.
Requirements:
At the time where they will start the position the candidates should hold a PhD or doctoral degree in AMO experimental physics or in a related field. The candidates should have a passion for experimental work in laser and optical physics excellent experimental skills and a good theoretical background. Prior experience in at least one of the following fields is advantageous: precision measurements frequency metrology optical frequency combs laser stabilization Dopplerfree spectroscopy of atoms and molecules fundamental tests of physics.
The project is challenging and multidisciplinary thus it requires a large engagement. The candidates should be selfdriven and have the ability to work independently as well as a part of an international research group. They should be fluent in spoken and written English. The ability to write technical peerreviewed publications evidenced through a strong publication record is essential.
Offer:
The positions are initially limited to 2 years renewable. The payment is according to the German TVD (Bund) salary scheme for scientists in public research institutions. The review applications will start immediately and the positions are open until filled. Starting dates can be flexible in 2025.
If equally qualified severely handicapped persons are given preference.
MBI is an equalopportunity employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
MBI supports the reconcilability of family and working life and is certified by the audit workandfamily (audit berufundfamilie) as a familyfriendly employer.
Please use the MBI online recruiting platform athttps://mbiberlin/career to upload your application with a curriculum vitae a list of publications a motivation letter (explaining why you would like to join our group and indicating his/her desired starting date) transcripts of grades and the contact details of 2 or 3 scientists who know you well and who are able to provide a recommendation letter. Even for preapplication inquiries we strongly encourage potential applicants to always send a curriculum vitae and a list of publications as this helps answering their questions.
