Zusammenfassung

Kanton Bern in Bern is seeking an ambitious postdoctoral researcher to develop dual-comb spectroscopy for atmospheric sensing and climate research. The position sits at the interface of laser physics and isotope science, with collaboration across multiple research groups in the Swiss Alps.

You will build a broadband, high-resolution prototype, validate it with calibrated gas samples, and plan first open-path field tests between Zimmerwald Observatory and Jungfraujoch.

Qualifikationen

• PhD in physics, photonics, optical engineering, atmospheric physics, or a related field
• Strong experimental background in ultrafast optics, laser spectroscopy, frequency-comb technology, remote sensing, or related areas
• Independence, excellent project management skills and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary climate research
• Additional assets: experience with dual-comb spectroscopy, nonlinear frequency conversion, free-space optical links, atmospheric sensing, or field-deployed instrumentation.

Aufgaben

• Define the sensing strategy in close exchange with all collaborators
• Build a dual-comb spectroscopy prototype using state-of-the-art infrastructure
• Validate and benchmark the system in the laboratory using calibrated gas samples
• Plan first open-path field tests and analyse the results together with collaborators.
