Job Opportunities in Hungary

The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project is an integral part of the European plan to build
the next generation of large research facilities identified and selected by the European Strategy
Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). ELI is the first infrastructure in the world able to
investigate interactions between light and matter with the highest intensity, in the so-called
ultrarelativistic range. It will open a doorway into new territories within physics and establishing
new technical developments such as relativistic microelectronics and small laser particle
accelerators. ELI will have a considerable impact on numerous fields of materials science,
medicine and environmental protection.

We are looking for scientists to fill
both senior and junior positions in various fields of research
