Job Description
The University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics (UR LLE) invites applications for nontenure track faculty equivalent scientist to join the Relativistic Laser Plasmas Group in the Plasma and Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE) division. The PULSE Division supports a broad range of both theoretical/computational and experimental plasma physics science including inertial confinement fusion ultrashort pulse laserplasma science and ultrafast plasma photonics.
A successful experimental candidate must have a fundamental understanding of laser diagnostics and plasma diagnostics and handson knowledge of the inner workings of diagnostic equipment and a grasp of the stateoftheart in the field of timeresolved and spatially resolved diagnostics. Handson experience developing and deploying diagnostics and diagnostic equipment is desired. A physics background in ultrafast dense lasermaterialplasma interactions is desired. Applicant must have experience interacting and working with multidisciplinary team of scientist and engineers to accomplish complex goals. Candidate should have at least a Ph.D. in Physics or a physical science; they must be a highly motivated selfstarter.
