Branch: Humanities Branch: Humanities


The Leibniz Universität Hannover offers excellent working conditions in a living scientific environment, embedded in the excellent living conditions of a modern city in the countryside. The Institute for Quantum Optics at Leibniz Universität Hannover conducts research in the fields of quantum physics, ultrashort-time optics and photonic technologies. At the Institute of Quantum Optics, the following point shall be placed at the next possible time: Scientific cooperation (promotion agency) in the field of theoretical quantum and high field physics (EntgGr. 13 TV-L, 75 %) The place is limited to 36 months. An extension to the doctorate is possible. .

Your tasks • Your profile • What we offer

You develop novel methods for examining ultra-fast electron dynamics in strong laser fields with classic and quantum light sources. You are integrated in the simulation of quantum mechanical electron dynamics on attosecond time scales. You provide the connection of experiment and theory through the analysis of experimental data and their interpretation using modern simulation methods.

A prerequisite for the recruitment is a completed academic degree (master or comparable) in physics, quantum science, photonics or a related subject. In addition, you will have the following qualifications: very good knowledge of quantum mechanics Knowledge of theoretical physics, mathematical methods, experience with scientific programming (e.g. Python, C/C++, Julia or Fortran) Knowledge of quantum optics, high field physics or attose customer research is advantageous Leibniz Universität Hannover is committed to equal opportunities and diversity. The goal is to use the potential of all and to open opportunities. We therefore welcome applications from all interested parties regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity.
