PhD Position in Optical Spectroscopy of Quantum Nanomaterials at the Single Photon/Phonon Level
- A PhD position is available in the Functional Inorganic Material group (Kovalenko lab) at ETH Zurich (Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences).**Job description**:
The research activities involve comprehensive characterization of new perovskite-based nanomaterials, in the form of single quantum dots or superlattices, their optoelectronic properties and the development of a new generation of nanomaterial-based nanophotonic devices that operate down to the single-photon level.

State-of-the-art optical characterization methods including micro-photoluminescence experiments will be employed to characterize the optical properties of single quantum dots and the statistics of the emitted photons. Ab-initio (DFT) molecular-dynamic simulations will be used to guide and interpret the experimental results.

**Your profile**:

- A relevant MSc degree (e.g., in chemistry, physics, or engineering) with outstanding grades
- Solid background in spectroscopy and data analysis (via Matlab, Python, etc.)
- Basic knowledge of quantum properties of light
- Previous experience with semiconductor quantum dots and computational chemistry (e.g. DFT, molecular dynamics) as well as advanced programming skills will be beneficial
- Fluency in written and spoken English
- Enjoy working on international research projects

**We offer**:

- ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.Working, teaching and research at ETH Zurich
