The IV. Physical Institute at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is looking to fill a positions for a
PhD student (f/m/d)
in the Atomic Scale Light-Matter Interaction research group of Prof. Dr. Katharina Kaiser. The position should be filled starting from October 1st. This is a temporary position for qualification for 3 years, the salary will be according to 75 % (29,85 h) TV-L E13. The regulations of the Georg-August University School of Science (GAUSS) apply to doctoral studies.
The opening is related to combining high-resolution scanning probe microscopy (in particular scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy) and ultrafast optical spectroscopy to explore ultrafast charge and excited state dynamics as well as effects related to strong light-matter coupling.
The PhD position will be part of the Wissenschaftsraum Elektronen-Licht-Kontroll (elLiKo), a collaborative project between groups of the University Göttingen and the University Oldenburg, aimed at investigating the nanoscale interaction between electrons and light from different perspectives and using different approaches. In this project, the PhD student will work with a low-temperature high-resolution combined scanning tunneling/atomic force microscope with optical access, and contribute to implementing a setup for femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy in such a setup. The research focus will be on investigating light-matter coupling, in particular effects related to strong coupling, and studying charge and exciton dynamics in real-space and real-time in both single molecules and two-dimensional materials (see, for example, Kaiser et al., arXiv:2403.10410 (2024); Rosławska et al., Nature Nanotechnol. 19, 738-743 (2024); Imada et al., Science 373, 95-98 (2021)).
Your profile
• You have completed your scientific university studies with a master’s degree in the field of physics, engineering, or a related field,
• are proficient in English,
• you ideally have experience with high-resolution scanning probe microscopy, in particular scanning tunneling microscopy, and/or ultrafast laser physics
• hands-on experience with ultra-high vacuum systems and/or time-resolved experiments is advantageous,
• you are experienced or interested in numerical data analysis using, e.g., Python or Matlab.
The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities without gender-bias. Qualified people are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which their gender is underrepresented. The university has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports their employees in balancing work and family life. The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of severely disabled persons. Applications from severely disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
Please send your application with motivation letter and curriculum vitae in electronic form to: Katharina.kaiser@uni-goettingen.de until August 31th, 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Dr. K. Kaiser (phone: 0551-3924541, e-mail: Katharina.kaiser@uni-goettingen.de).
