M-2376 Post-doc in Novel, Non Linear Laser

Description
**Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us**:
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment, and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

**You ‘d like to contribute as an Post-Doctoral Researcher? Join our Materials Research Department**:
Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.

The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.

**Responsibilities**:
**How will you contribute?**:
We are seeking a **motivated Post-Doctoral researcher with an interest in advanced, non-linear laser diagnostics and laser development to work with our team on developing a novel, portable single-shot CRBS instrumentation, capable of performing single shot CRBS measurements in neutral and plasma flows**. Specifically, if you have an interest in diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser engineering as well as high power laser amplifiers, knowledgeable with regards to optical components and optical alignment and characterization techniques, we want you In-depth understanding of optical, atomic and molecular physics is expected. The ultimate goal of this project will be to develop CRBS instrumentation that will enable the thermodynamic characterization of neutral and plasma flows, in a variety of research and real life environments.

**Must-have requirements**:

- You hold a PhD degree in Physics, Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, combined with a pronounced taste for experiments, teamwork spirit and strong motivation.
- You have** **a pronounced taste for mechanical and electronic DIY which is a strong asset for this position.****:

- Demonstrated expertise with laser diagnostics will be considered a strong asset for this position.
- You’re able to manage several tools at the same time and you have a very good synchronisation to proceed.
- You're familiar with characterization of laser light, alignment and operation of high-power lasers, analysis of spectroscopic data. Proficiency in either Labview, CAD programs, Matlab programming and/or Origin will be considered assets.

**We offer**:
**Your LIST benefits**:

- An organization with a passion for impact and strong RDI partnerships in Luxembourg and Europe that works on responsible and independent research projects;
- Sustainable by design, empowering our belief that we play an essential role in paving the way to a green society;
