Postdoctoral Research Assistant
type: Vacancy
further particulars: 176554 JD and Person Spec Theory.pdf
comment: Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Computational Plasma Physics. The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration until 31 August 2026. The focus of this project is to develop novel spectroscopic techniques in high energy density physics, such as resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), and field them in experiments at large-scale x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facilities. Using these techniques, we aim to measure directly the electronic structure of extreme states of matter, and understand how it evolves under material compression and phase transformation. Recently published related work can be found here: Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in warm-dense Fe compounds beyond the SASE FEL resolution limit - Communications Physics https://www.nature.com/articles/s42005-024-01752-0 https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.195001 The successful candidate will work within the wider research group and lead our efforts on the theoretical and computational aspects of the project, including running and developing predictive simulations (atomic kinetics, density functional theory, molecular dynamics, etc.) and deploying modern data analysis approaches leveraging various aspects of machine learning and differentiable programming. The candidate will endeavour to connect these theoretical and computational results with the experimental measurements obtained within the wider research group and collaboration. The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. Applicants should hold a PhD, or be close to completion, in physics or a related field, and have a strong background in computational plasma physics or more general electronic structure techniques. Previous experience in the computational modelling of x-ray interactions with matter at high densities be an advantage. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to work independently on cutting-edge research projects, to communicate their research, object…

Recent publications https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.195001 The role We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position in computational physics to join our research group in the Physics Department, University of Oxford. The project will be led by Dr. Sam Vinko in collaboration with Professor Justin Wark. This position is part of an EPSRC project aimed at exploiting the most recent developments in optical and x-ray free-electron laser science, to advance our understanding of matter in extreme conditions. Developments in high-energy lasers, and their co-location at large-scale freeelectron laser facilities, such as the European XFEL in Hamburg, will soon allow us routinely to drive matter to pressures exceeding 10 Mbar, and probe it with the brightest x-ray source on the planet. In the US, the construction of the LCLS-II facility will enable independent x-ray-pump/xray-probe experiments to take place for the very first time. These capabilities will support new laboratory-based studies of matter in stellar interior and exoplanetary core conditions, at the nanoscopic scale, and on ultrashort timescales, and will provide access to exotic new plasma regimes where quantum behaviou…
