Postdoc: Ultrafast Dynamics in Dielectric Nanoparticles

Aarhus University; Aarhus; On-site; DKK 430,000 - 530,000; Full time

Job summary

Aarhus University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position to study ultrafast dynamics of dielectric nanoparticles using optical pump–probe techniques.

The successful candidate will build a new trap for dielectric nanoparticles, set up a CEP-stabilized laser system, and compare experimental results with simulations, publishing findings and presenting at conferences.

Qualifications

• PhD in experimental physics, photonics or similar.
• Experience in particle trapping and ultrafast-laser techniques.
• Experience with high-harmonic generation and attosecond dynamics is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Construct a new trap for dielectric nanoparticles.
• Set up a new experimental platform for ultrafast dynamics studies using optical pump–probe experiments.
• Set up a CEP stabilized laser system for attosecond carrier dynamics investigations.
• Compare experiments with simulations to gain new insights into ultrafast material dynamics.
• Disseminate results in papers and at conferences.
