PhD Position in Ultrafast Spectroscopy
3 weeks ago
Research Project Overview
The Ultrafast Nanoscience group at Umeå University is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to conduct research on ultrafast spectroscopy in condensed matter nanosystems. This project combines exciting fields of research, including ultrafast science, photonics, and magnetism, with the goal of understanding the dynamics of electronic degrees of freedom in nanostructured materials.
Research Objectives
The PhD student will investigate the physical mechanisms underlying light-matter interactions in nanoscale magnetic materials. By combining time-resolved spectroscopy, finite element method, and micromagnetic modeling, the candidate will design and realize plasmonic excitations affecting magnetic phenomena on ultrafast timescales.
Collaborations and Opportunities
The project foresees ample collaborative opportunities with other research groups in Europe, including Lund University (Sweden), CIC nanoGUNE (Spain), Italian Institute of Technology (Italy), and the University of Luxembourg (Luxembourg).
Candidate Requirements
To be eligible, the applicant must have qualifications equivalent to a completed degree at second-cycle level or completed course requirements of at least 240 ECTS credits, including at least 60 ECTS credits at second-cycle level. The applicant should also have a documented background in one of the following topics: ultrafast and nonlinear optics, condensed matter physics, electromagnetism, magnetism, or plasmonics.
Desired Skills and Experience
Previous experience or knowledge in magnetoplasmonics, nanophotonics, data analysis (e.g., MATLAB), finite element, or FDTD methods is considered a merit. The candidate should also have basic programming skills in C/Python and Labview.
Employment and Benefits
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. The employment starts on January 1, 2025, or according to agreement.
Application Requirements
The application should include a cover letter with a summary of research interests and motivation, a curriculum vitae, certified copies of relevant degree certificates translated to English or Swedish, transcripts with grades, and copies of student theses and publications (if any).
