PhD position in dynamics of quantum materials under pressure
Job description
The aim of this project is to investigate ultrafast dynamics of quantum materials under pressure. Pressure is a crucial parameter in setting the ground state of the material in thermodynamic equilibrium.
Our goal is to investigate the dynamical response of the system once it is brought out of equilibrium following excitation by an ultrashort pulse of light.
The knowledge acquired from this study will enable a better control of the properties of quantum materials and will inform theory developments that seek to model ultrafast material responses.
This project will be based in Prof. Elsa Abreu’s Quantum Material Dynamics group at ETH Zürich, in the Institute for Quantum Electronics.
This PhD position is full time , with possible starting dates after July .
Your profile
- holds a Master’s degree preferably in physics, alternatively in material sciences
- has a background in condensed matter physics
- ideally has experience with time-resolved experiments or with performing measurements under high pressure
- must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written english
- must be enthusiastic, creative and self-motivated
