Job summary

AMOLF in the Netherlands, in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, offers a four-year physics PhD position focused on photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM) and optical metasurfaces.

The project involves designing resonant metasurfaces with ultrathin 2D layers, fabricating them, and integrating them into an ultrafast SEM to measure coherent electron-light coupling and related quantum phenomena.

Qualifications

• MSc in physics or equivalent.
• Experience with ultrafast electron microscopy, nanofabrication, and optical metasurfaces is desirable.

Responsibilities

• Design and fabricate resonant optical metasurfaces with ultrathin 2D layers.
• Implement them in an ultrafast SEM and measure coherent electron-light coupling.
• Investigate electron wavepacket control, cathodoluminescence, coherence and quantum-eraser concepts.
