For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the Faculty of Physics, Institute of Applied Physics, the Chair of Ultrafast Microscopy and Photonics offers a full-time position as

Research Associate / Postdoc (m / f / x)

Time-resolved magneto-optical microscopy of van der Waals semiconductors

(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting February 1, . The position is initially limited to four years until January 1, . The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification (usually habilitation thesis).

Our research is focused on spectroscopy and microscopy of interacting electronic many-particle states in low-dimensional semiconductors using a variety of techniques from linear and non-linear spectroscopy to time-resolved microscopy as well as under the influence of external fields. We address an expanded material base of artificially assembled nanostructures to develop fundamental understanding and advanced concepts for manipulation and control of light-emitting excitations. Our aim is to address technologically motivated, critical questions from the basic science perspective. For more information regarding our research please visit the web page of the institute

Tasks
