YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
are the development and application of advanced laser-based diagnostics for the characterisation of plasma-chemical processes and plasma-surface interactions and in particular:
- to operate and maintain a two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence experiment (TALIF);
- to quantify densities of atomic hydrogen in a hydrogen-containing plasma for the analysis of their loss rates on selected surfaces;
- to apply and set up laser-based spectroscopic methods such as cavity ring-down spectroscopy to extend the analysis for molecular radicals in hydrogen-containing plasmas with impurities;
- to carry out detailed studies to elucidate relevant plasma-chemical processes and to identify key species in the plasma.
Furthermore you will:
- work together with scientists from the institute and the project team of partner institutions;
- communicate project results to the project team and other stakeholders.
YOUR PROFILE:
- Experimental physicist or chemist or equivalent background with a completed PhD degree
- Very good knowledge in the field of laser spectroscopy for the sensitive detection of atoms and molecules in the gas phase
- Experience with diagnostics based on cavity enhanced spectroscopy
- Experience in the field of plasma spectroscopy
- Confident use of tools such as Python Matlab and Origin
- Highly motivated and with the drive to advance scientific research in the field of plasma diagnostics and plasma chemistry
- High degree of commitment incentive self-reliant working ability to handle stress team spirit flexibility reliability and problem-solving competence
- Experience in writing scientific reports and publications
- Confident manner and communicative personality
- Communicative skills in German and English (spoken and written) above average
