PhD Position in Experimental Physics with Focus on Optical Frequency Comb Spectroscopy

2 months ago


Umeå, Västerbotten, Sweden Umeå University Full time
Project Description

The Optical Frequency Comb Spectroscopy Group at Umeå University is seeking a PhD student to work on a project aimed at high-resolution broadband spectroscopy of molecules of importance in astrophysics. The project involves the development and application of optical frequency comb spectroscopy for broadband precision measurements and sensitive detection of molecular species in gas phase.

Research Objectives

The PhD student will be responsible for conducting research on the development and application of optical frequency comb spectroscopy for high-resolution broadband spectroscopy of molecules of importance in astrophysics. The research objectives include:

  • Developing a cavity-enhanced system with increased sensitivity for the frequency comb probe
  • Measuring and assigning hot band transitions reaching the 9000 cm-1 energy levels in ethylene
  • Further developing the system to reach the 12000 cm-1 energy levels in methane
  • Theoretical modelling of the signals and collaboration with theorists
Requirements

To be eligible for this position, the applicant must have a Master's degree in experimental physics or a related field, with a strong background in optics and electronics. The applicant must also have experience in experimental laboratory research and be highly motivated and able to work independently as well as part of a research group. Fluency in both oral and written English is required.

Terms of Employment

The employment is expected to result in a doctoral degree and the main assignment for the doctoral student is to be part of the research education, which includes participation in the described research project but also to take relevant courses. Teaching and other departmental work (up to a maximum of 20%) can be included. The employment is limited to four years at full time or up to five years if teaching and other departmental work is performed. The salary is fixed according to the established salary level for doctoral students.
