Postdoctoral Fellow: Ultrafast Nanophotonics & Dielectric Traps

Natural Sciences - Institut for Fysik og Astronomi; Denmark; On-site; DKK 420,000 - 520,000; Full time

Job summary

Aarhus University invites applications for a two-year position beginning 1 March 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. You will contribute to building a dielectric nanoparticle trap and an ultrafast optics platform, including a CEP-stabilized laser system, to study carrier dynamics with pump–probe experiments.

We seek a PhD holder in experimental physics or photonics, with strong preference for those with ultrafast-laser experience.

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

• Constructing a trap for dielectric nanoparticles.
• Setting up an experimental platform for ultrafast dynamics using optical pump–probe experiments.
• Setting up a CEP-stabilized laser system for attosecond carrier dynamics investigations.
• Disseminating results in papers and at conferences.
