About the Role

Work Activities
The new Short Wavelength Light Sources for EUV Metrology group at ARCNL, Amsterdam, has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher (2-year contract).
Project Overview:
You will develop new ultrafast femtosecond-to-attosecond spectroscopy techniques in the EUV/soft-X-ray spectral range using a laboratory-based high-harmonic generation (HHG) setup. This includes:
  • Developing HHG-based spectroscopic and interferometric techniques to measure interface and layer properties in multilayer solids and liquids.
  • Designing methods to actively tune the EUV spectrum based on interlayer geometry and composition.
  • Investigating dynamical evolution at interfaces and contributing to bridging attosecond science with industrial applications.

  • You will design and perform experiments, analyze data, and collaborate with other researchers within ARCNL and the ultrafast science community. The position also invo...
