The Central Laser Facility (CLF) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell, Oxfordshire, is recruiting four ultrafast scientists in the Artemis and ULTRA teams, with fixed-term and open-ended contracts available. See link below for detail and applications.

The CLF has been awarded £17M funding for a transformation of their ultrafast laser spectroscopy facilities, Artemis and ULTRA (https://www.clf.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/HiLUX.aspx). This 4-year project will extend the range of techniques for ultrafast laser spectroscopy, and encompasses new lasers, detectors and sample-handling technologies.
ULTRA
The ULTRA facility specialises in high repetition-rate ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy for research in the physical and life sciences. Our techniques include multi-dimensional (2D vibrational and electronic), time-resolved Raman, vibrational sum-frequency generation and broadband transient spectroscopies. (https://www.clf.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Ultra_Facility.aspx).
Artemis
The Artemis facility uses extreme-ultraviolet laser pulses, produced through high harmonic generation, in a broad range of experiments (https://www.clf.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Artemis.aspx). These include time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy/photoemission and coherent lensless imaging. We plan to develop experiments on x-ray transient absorption spectroscopy.
Main components to the roles:
- Working with external research groups using the facilities.
- Development of instrumentation, techniques and/or software.
- Developing your own scientific interests at the facility.
