Postdoctoral Associate in Strong-Field QED

The Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Rochester and the Laboratory for Laser Energetics are seeking to hire a postdoc associate under the supervision of Professor Antonino Di Piazza. The position is funded through the NSF-GACR grant described at https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2409460&HistoricalAwards=false and is in collaboration with the group led by S. Weber at ELI Beamlines in Czech Republic.

The successful candidate is expected to work theoretically in the area of strong-field QED dealing especially with the emission of radiation by several charges in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields (please click on the link above for more details). Candidates are expected to have a strong theoretical background in high-field QED, as well as experience with advanced numerical techniques.

The position is immediately available and the duration of the funding is up to three years. Interested candidates should provide a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a statement of research interests, as well as two letters of recommendation through our online application system at: http://apply.interfolio.com/158939
