Heidelberg University PhD student position in experimental atomic physics

Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and independent PhD student, trained in experimental atomic physics, who has a strong interest in doing research in physics of Highly Charged Ions (HCI) and Relativistic Atomic Collisions.

Our group, based in Physics Institute of Heidelberg University, studies fundamental atomic electromagnetic interactions in the domain of strong fields of heavy HCI and hard x-rays. Our experimental program is accomplished at the external facilities. The GSI/Darmstadt Experimental Storage Ring and the newly developed Stockholm Electron Beam Ion Trap are used for production and experiments with the heaviest HCI up to bare uranium, i.e. up to the limits of the atomic matter. Experiments at the electron accelerator S-DALINAC of Technische Universität Darmstadt complement these studies. To enable these investigations we develop novel hard x-ray polarimeters based on modern position-sensitive semiconductor detectors.

The successful candidate will take part in the experiments at GSI, TU-Darmstadt and Stockholm University. He/she will work with novel segmented hard x-ray solid-state detectors, vacuum equipment, and experimental electronics and will analyze the collected data. The work will be performed in close collaboration with international experimental and theoretical atomic physics groups.


A sound background in atomic physics as well as computer programming skills are required. We offer a three year doctorate program including salary and social benefits conforming to the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the German Civil Service (TV-L/E13, 75%). You are also expected to take part in the post-graduate educational program of Heidelberg University as well as in the Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research.

Review of applications will start on 7.03.2011 and will continue until the position is filled. Please send your application with CV and names and e-mails of 2 scientists who might be contacted for the letter of reference by e-mail or mail to:

Dr. Stanislav Tashenov
Heidelberg University, Physikalisches Institut
Philosophenweg 12, 69120 Heidelberg / Germany
