The Chair of Photonics and Ultrafast Laser Science at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is looking for a

research associate / PhD student (m,f,x) for 3 years with 39,83 hours per week, TVL E13

Our scientific mission is to advance ultrafast laser technology, explore new areas of coherent light generation, and apply our uniquely tailored ultrafast sources to better understand chemical, biological, and physical processes.

The main research topic is to explore new pulse compression in 2um wavelength. The work will encompass both theoretical analysis and implementation of experimental setups.

extent: full-time
duration: temporary
beginning: as soon as possible
application deadline: 25.11.2024

Your tasks:

  • building multipass cells for compression in th 2um wavelenght
  • development of ultrafast laser systems
  • transfering knowledge on nonlinear pulse compression to high power laser set ups
  • support students (optional)
  • implementation of experimental setups

Your profile:

  • Candidates should hold a Masters degree, in Physics, or Electrical Engineering. Ideally, the candidate already has hands-on experience with nonlinear pulse compression and building multipass cells.
  • The candidate is expected to have excellent English oral and written skills. Additionally, independence, motivation, team working spirit and the desire to work in an international environment will be crucial.

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.


The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
