Job position - EXPERIENCED RESEARCHER in the fields of ULTRAFAST PUMP-PROBE SPECTROSCOPY

The position is open within the project Strengthening University of Nova Gorica Research Potential in Environmental Sciences and Novel Nanomaterials (SUNGREEN), co-financed under the Framework Programme 7 (Call: FP7-REGPOT-2011-1), with duration until 30.9.2014.

The University of Nova Gorica is currently implementing a new state-of-the-art light source, named CITIUS, based on laser high-harmonic generation (HHG) in gas. The source will initially cover the energy range between 20 and 40 eV. Harmonic pulses will have a duration of few tens of femtoseconds, an energy of the order of a fraction of microjoule and variable repetition rate (from 1 to 10 kHz). Part of the laser light will be used to feed an optical parametric amplifier, generating tunable infra-red pulses to be used in combination with the harmonic light for pump-probe experiments.
