Postdoc: Ultrafast Dynamics in Dielectric Nanoparticles

Aarhus University; Aarhus; Remote; DKK 420,000 - 540,000; Full time

Job summary

Aarhus University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, invites applications for a two-year postdoc position to join a project on ultrafast dynamics of trapped dielectric nanoparticles. Start date 1 March 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter; you will construct a trap and set up an optical pump–probe platform with a CEP-stabilized laser system.

The role requires a PhD in experimental physics or photonics, experience in particle trapping or ultrafast-laser techniques, and strong English

Qualifications

• PhD in experimental physics, photonics or similar.
• Experience with particle trapping and/or ultrafast-laser techniques strongly preferred.
• Experience with high-harmonic generation and attosecond dynamics is an advantage.
• Proficiency in spoken and written English is expected.

Responsibilities

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