Job Details

ELI Beamlines laser center (Czech Republic) is looking for a PhD student https://www.eli-beams.eu/careers/phd-project-226/.

The project is dedicated to the extension of the strong field quantum electrodynamics (SFQED) to account for collective effects, when several particles coherently participate in a quantum process. This is a completely new regime, where both collective and QED effects dominate the dynamic of the system. In particular, the aim of the project is to study theoretically and numerically the coherency of radiation emitted by many ultrarelativistic particles interacting with a strong electromagnetic field. The key feature of the analysis is to work within the full quantum regime, where not only recoil effects in the emission are taken into account but also the collective quantum properties of the incoming multi-electron bunch.

The PhD student will investigate theoretically and numerically electromagnetic radiation of many particles in the framework of SFQED. He/she will also perform numerical simulations for optimization of the experimental setup for the observation of the coherent radiation.

The student will be supervised by E. Gelfer (ELI Beamlines) and O. Klimo (ELI Beamlines, Czech Technical University in Prague). The project is funded by the NSF-GACR grant “Coherent radiation of electrons interacting with intense laser pulses” and will be implemented in close collaboration with A. Di Piazza (University of Rochester, Laboratory for Laser Energetics, USA). The duration of the project is 3 years.

The position at ELI Beamlines is immediately available, the PhD program at Czech Technical University in Prague starts in March 2025.

For more information, please contact Evgeny Gelfer evgeny.gelfer@eli-beams.eu.

ELI Beamlines profile imageELI Beamlines is part of the European ELI laser centre, the world’s first international laser facility. ELI Beamlines is open to an international and interdisciplinary user community from academia and industry. Mandated by the international scientific laser community and implemented in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania, ELI drives international laser research and laser-based applications to new frontiers, and fulfils important missions for regional socio-economic development.

About us
The main mission of ELI Beamlines is to provide a user-oriented infrastructure for performing revolutionary scientific experiments across many different disciplines. It combines advanced synchronized ultra-intense short-pulse lasers with secondary sources of particles and X-rays.

The ELI Beamlines facility provides research opportunities at a number of world-class secondary sources, each one driven by ultra-intense lasers. These secondary sources, partially based on entirely new concepts, produce pulses of radiation and particles of the highest intensity and beam quality, including electromagnetic radiation over a broad spectral range and charged particles such as electrons, protons and ions. These will enable a wealth of novel applications.

The ERIC is a specific legal form designed to facilitate the establishment and operation of research infrastructures of European interest. ERICs are participated by States and international organizations as members. As a main statutory mission, ELI ERIC is responsible for making the ELI facilities available to the scientific community as a single international organization, with unified governance and management.

The Czech Republic hosts the ELI ERIC statutory seat in Dolní Brezany, in the South of Prague, at the ELI Beamlines facility. A second facility, ELI-ALPS, is hosted by Hungary in Szeged. The Czech Republic and Hungary are joined by Italy and Lithuania as founding members, while Germany and Bulgaria are founding observers. A third ELI facility is under construction in Romania in the field of nuclear photonics and is expected to complement the current ELI ERIC facilities in the future. More information can be found on the ELI ERIC websites.

Why work for us
The ELI Beamlines brings together people from all over the world. If you want to participate in the largest laser research project in the world, apply through the offer of employment at www.eli-beams.eu. We are interested in people of various professions and specializations. We can offer interesting and challenging work, dedicated training, plus the chance to work with smart people in a pleasant working environment.

The future is in laser technologies. Are you interested? Join us!
