TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration.

Powerful, innovative short-pulse lasers are needed primarily for laser cooling of stored relativistic ion beams at the future SIS100 heavy ion synchrotron at FAIR* (in Darmstadt) but also for optical scanning of relativistic laser plasma processes at the HZDR**. The focus is on the development of a tunable 100-picosecond laser amplifier system with a MHz pulse repetition rate with an output power of more than 50W at a frequency-quadrupled 257.5 nm wavelength. The use of the system on suitable storage rings is intended as part of the project.

university degree and, preferably, PhD degree in physics or related subjects (STEM subject) and, if applicable, a PhD degree. Experience in laser physics and willingness to work in a campaign-oriented, international team is desirable.
