Database Developer (IV-89)

The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Project is an integral part of the European Union plan to build the next generation of large research facilities: ELI-Beamlines in the Czech Republic, ELI-ALPS in Hungary, and ELI-NP in Romania. ELI-Beamlines was opened in 2015 as a cutting edge laser facility and currently is starting to offer open access beamtime to users. ELI-Beamlines is delivering ultrashort, ultra-intense laser pulses lasting typically a few femtoseconds (12-150 fs) with peak powers ranging from 5 TW up to 10 PW. The high laser electric field intensities of the laser pulse is also used for generating secondary sources of e- and p+. The facility will make available short laser and particle pulses over wide range intensities for interdisciplinary applications in physics, medicine, biology, material science etc.

The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is a holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award. It is awarded by the European Commission to institutions which put significant effort into improving their human resources strategy and ensuring professional and ethical working conditions.
