Project description
The Ultrafast Nanoscience Group () research focus is the study of both the fundamental and applied aspects of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. In more detail, we study light-driven charge, spin and lattice dynamics and strong optical nonlinearities in nano- and meta-materials for opto-electronics and information processing, photochemistry, and biotechnology. We use frequency- and time-resolved (magneto-)optical spectroscopy, finite-element computational methods and bottom-up/top-down nanofabrication techniques. We are now seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work in a project where we are making use of ultrashort light pulses to understand and control spin dynamics in nanostructured systems. The successful candidate will work with a newly established pump-probe system able to generate sub-5 fs light pulses which will be used to excite and probe plasmons in magnetic nanostructures and achieve a coherent control of spin dynamics with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. As a postdoctoral researcher in our group, you will work in a dynamic, creative, ambitious and international environment, with many external collaborations and opportunities to present your research at international meetings and conferences.
Qualifications
To be appointed under the postdoctoral agreement, the postdoctoral fellow is required to have completed a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree. This qualification requirements must be fulfilled no later than at the time of the appointment decision. To be appointed under the postdoctoral agreement, priority should be given to candidates who completed their doctoral degree, according to what is stipulated in the paragraph above, no later than three years prior. If there are special reasons, candidates who completed their doctoral degree prior to that may also be eligible. Special reasons include absence due to illness, parental leave, appointments of trust in trade union organisations, military service, or similar circumstances, as well as clinical practice or other forms of appointment/assignment relevant to the subject area. Postdoctoral fellows who are to teach or supervise must have taken relevant courses in teaching and learning in higher education.
We are looking for a highly motivated and responsible candidate who is passionate about developing as an individual scientist as well as a research team member. The candidate should have proved experience in ultrafast and nonlinear optics and/or pump-probe spectroscopy and/or development of laser-based spectroscopic systems. An ability to perform research independently as well as in a team is fundamental. Fluency in written and oral English are essential.
