The Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC (ELI ERIC) is the world’s largest and most advanced high-power laser research infrastructure. As an international user facility dedicated to multi-disciplinary science, ELI provides access to world-class high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems and enables cutting-edge research, as well as breakthrough technological innovations. The ELI ERIC operates as a single multi-site organization with two complementary facilities specialized in different fields of research with extreme light: ELI Beamlines in Dolní Břežany (Czech Republic) and ELI ALPS in Szeged (Hungary).

ELI Beamlines Facility operates four cutting-edge high-power femtosecond laser systems reaching unprecedented intensities. The operational laser systems make unique femtosecond sources of X-rays and accelerated particles available to scientific users for pioneering research in physical, chemical, materials, life and medical sciences as well as physics of dense plasmas, warm dense matter, and laboratory astrophysics. The ELI Beamlines Facility employs over 350 researchers, engineers and other professionals from more than 38 countries.

In our team we have the following position available:

Post-Doctoral Fellowship – Radiobiology and Laser-Driven Ion Beams (325)

The Ion Acceleration and Applications Department at ELI Beamlines conducts research and user-oriented activities in laser-driven and conventional particle beam applications, with a strong focus on multidisciplinary experiments at the ELIMAIA–ELIMED beamline.

Radiobiology represents a growing area of activity within the department, requiring dedicated expertise for the preparation and handling of biological samples, support of user experiments, and development of advanced irradiation methodologies. These activities are supported by the RadioLab, a dedicated facility for radiobiological sample preparation and experimental support.

In parallel, the department is actively involved in research and development projects focused on laser-driven ion acceleration and its applications to radiobiology, including comparative studies using different laser systems.

The successful candidate will contribute to both operational activities and research and development, supporting radiobiology experiments across the facility while developing independent research in the field of radiobiological irradiation with conventional and laser-driven ion beams.

Job description:

  • Lead and coordinate the activities of the RadioLab, including preparation and handling of radiobiological samples
  • Support radiobiology-related experiments across the ELI Beamlines facility, in collaboration with multiple departments
  • Act as Experimental Responsible (ER) for radiobiology-related user experiments in the ELIMED beamline
  • Operate and support dosimetry diagnostics at the ELIMED beamline
  • Support preparation and execution of user experiments within ELI ERIC open calls
  • Conduct independent research in radiobiological irradiation using conventional and laser-driven ion beams
  • Contribute to R&D activities in laser-driven ion acceleration and related radiobiological applications
  • Support comparative radiobiological studies using different laser systems
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to enhance experimental capabilities
  • Prepare scientific publications and present results at international conferences
  • Contribute to outreach and educational activities

Requirements:

  • PhD in physics, medical physics, radiobiology, or related fields
  • Experience in radiobiology or irradiation experiments
  • Background in particle beams, dosimetry, or radiation–matter interaction
  • Experience with experimental work in complex environments
  • Ability to work across disciplines (physics–biology interface)
  •  Proactive and team-oriented approach with good communication skills
  • Willingness to engage with new scientific topics
  • Proficiency in English (written and spoken)

The following are considered an advantage:

  • Experience with laser-driven ion acceleration
  • Knowledge of dosimetry techniques
  • Experience with biological sample preparation
  • Experience in user facilities or large-scale research infrastructures
  • Experience with data analysis and/or simulation tools

We offer:

  • Hands-on laboratory experience in a unique international scientific institution
  • Opportunity to contribute to radiobiology activities at the ELIMAIA–ELIMED beamline and within the RadioLab
  • Involvement in R&D projects on laser-driven ion acceleration and radiobiological applications
  • Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and international users
  • Opportunity to participate in experiments at world-class high-power laser facilities
  • Flexible working hours
  • Good working environment
  • Career growth and professional education
  • Meal allowance and pension contribution
  • Young and dynamic team
  • 5 weeks of vacation and 6 days of personal leave
  • Support of leisure time activities

 

Applications, containing CV, cover letter, contacts of references, and any other material the candidate considers relevant, should be sent to Mrs. Jana Ženíšková, HR Senior Specialist (jana.zeniskova@eli-beams.eu, +420 601 560 322).
