At the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen, there is a vacancy for a postdoctoral research position within experimental quantum technologies for laser fusion experiments within the NAPLIFE collaboration. The position is for a fixed term of 3 years and is financed by the ongoing Fusion Research Center Norway (FUSENOW) supported by the Trond
Mohn Research Foundation.
The project aims to design, develop and characterize nano-fabricated targets for use in laser fusion experiments, to increase, and improve the target ignition and utilization. In addition to developing and fabricating the targets, a part of the project will be to build a test setup for target characterization at UiB. The most promising targets fabricated will be brought to the ELI-ALPs European laser-infrastructure at Szeged, Hungary, for characterization.
The postdoctoral position involves tasks such as designing, manufacturing and testing the laser fusion targets. The work will include simulation, experimental work, characterization and data analysis. The modelling and analysing of experimental results will be done in collaboration with the local and international NAPLIFE team. The candidate is expected to take an active part in the target design and the continuous development based on experimental results. The candidate will have the chance to take an active role in the development of the research and steer the target development together with the PI.
At UiB the candidate will have access to several lab-facilities with modern fabrication and characterization equipment. The work will be carried out in an active research environment as a member of Nanophysics group.
We encourage applicants that meet the requirements, with a strong motivation for experimental challenges and good ideas to apply.
The position is announced at Jobbnorge.
