WE ARE LOOKING FOR A POST-DOC!!!

High-field nonlinear optics research group at Johns Hopkins University, 
Baltimore, MD, invites applications for a postdoctoral position 
available immediately for a theoretical research in these areas:

(1) physics of attosecond (10^-16 -- 10^-18 s) down to 
    zepto-second (10^-21 s) EM-pulses 
(2) nonlinear relativistic waves in laser-excited plasma
(3) physics of relativistic electron bunches in high-intensity 
    laser fields
(4) X-ray and gamma transition radiation in solid-state nano-structures
(5) Most recent research on the physics of nano-scale, 
    sub-wavelength ripple formation on the solid-state surfaces 
    under strong femto-second laser pulse irradiation

For more information about our group research, see 
http://psi.ece.jhu.edu/~kaplan .

Starting date: as soon as possible.
A Ph.D. in physics, optics, electrical engineering, or a related 
field is required.  The ideal candidate will have working experience 
with electrodynamics and/or quantum mechanics of relativistic systems, 
as well computer skills (Fortran is required; experience with UNIX 
is a plus; sysadmin experience is a great plus) and be proficient 
in  English. The experience with nonlinear optics and related physics 
(especially "extreme" NLO) is also a great plus. 

Please mail a CV, list of publications, and list of references to 
Prof. Alex Kaplan (if using e-mail, send only "text" or PDF files).
