OFFER DESCRIPTION
The Laser Applications and Photonics group of the University of Salamanca (ALF-USAL) conducts fundamental theoretical research in the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast phenomena. The recent development of ultrafast structured laser pulses, ranging from the femtosecond to the attosecond regime, and presenting custom spin and orbital angular momentum properties has opened new routes to explore ultrafast magnetism on unprecedented timescales.
ALF-USAL invites applications for a 3-year Post-Doc position to explore theoretically these new scenarios of ultrafast magnetism driven by structured ultrafast pulses. The position is part of the project ATTOSTRUCTURA, “Structured attosecond pulses for ultrafast nanoscience”, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 851201), supervised by Dr. Carlos Hernández-García, and with a duration of 5 years starting on March 1st 2020.
