Job description:
ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) is a multi-site European Research Infrastructure Consortium devoted to the scientific research using new generation lasers. ELI-Beamlines is one of the the sites and is currently being constructed in Dolní Břežany (just south of Prague, Czech Republic). The commissioning of the facility is just starting. ELI-Beamlines will deliver ultra-short (few tens of femtoseconds), ultra-intense laser pulses in an unprecedent combination of high intensity and repetition rate. It will make available a unique combination of synchronized beams from the primary lasers and secondary ionizing radiation sources for a wide range of interdisciplinary applications in physics, chemistry, medicine, biology and material science.
For our Monte Carlo simulation group, we are seeking a suitable candidate for a junior or senior position (depending on qualifications) as:
Applied physicist – Monte Carlo simulations
Responsibilities (including but not limited to):
Requirements:
Desired qualification
We offer:
Interviews will begin immediately and the position will stay open until filled.
Applications, containing CV, cover letter, contacts of references, and any other material the candidate considers relevant, should be sent to Mrs. Jana Ženíšková, HR specialist (jana.zeniskova@eli-beams.eu, +420 - 601560322). Please include the following text in your cover letter, to allow us to process your personal details:
I agree that, according to the decree 101/2000 coll. (Czech Republic), my personal details sent to FZU AV CR, v.v.i., Na Slovance 2, 18221 Praha 8, Czech Republic can be used for the purpose of obtaining employment and management of database of employment candidates. This permission is given for the period of one year and can be at any time withdrawn by giving a notice in writing.
