PhD position in nonlinear laser spectroscopy on novel types of ferroic order and domains
Job description
The goal of the project is to advance the concept of ferroic order at a fundamental level. Spatially resolved imaging and manipulation of domains in a variety of novel ferroic materials are central objectives.
Candidates design and set up the workplace for their nonlinear-optical experiments. Lasers are not just a tool, but part of the setup where candidates have no reservations to carry out basic adjustments or maintenance.
They will also learn to work with cryogenic environments. They are never afraid to tear everything down and try a new approach, should this become necessary.
Despite the focus on laser-optical experiments, the involvement of other experimental techniques and in-depth discussion with theoretical groups are likely requirements.
Profile
- You have a masters degree in Physics or Materials Physics
- You have hands-on experience with class-IV lasers and related techniques
- You have at least basic education in condensed matter physics
- You like to work on complex problems with an urge to understand phenomena at their roots
- You are highly motivated, self-organized, creative, and used to thinking sideways
- You are a team player who likes to work in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface between optics and condensed-matter physics
- You are communicative with the ability to explain your project to non-specialists in simple words
