PhD position in nonlinear laser spectroscopy on novel types of ferroic order and domains

vor 10 Stunden


Zürich, Schweiz Department of Materials Vollzeit

Job description The goal of the project is to advance the concept of ferroic order at a fundamental level. Spatially resolved imaging and manipulation of domains in a variety of novel ferroic materials are central objectives. Candidates design and set up the workplace for their nonlinear-optical experiments. Lasers are not just a tool, but part of the setup where candidates have no reservations to carry out basic adjustments or maintenance. They will also learn to work with cryogenic environments. They are never afraid to tear everything down and try a new approach, should this become necessary. Despite the focus on laser-optical experiments, the involvement of other experimental techniques and in-depth discussion with theoretical groups are likely requirements. Profile You have a masters degree in Physics or Materials Physics You have hands-on experience with class-IV lasers and related techniques You have at least basic education in condensed matter physics You like to work on complex problems with an urge to understand phenomena at their roots You are highly motivated, self-organized, creative, and used to thinking sideways You are a team player who likes to work in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface between optics and condensed-matter physics You are communicative with the ability to explain your project to non-specialists in simple words Workplace Workplace We offer Outstanding lab facilities with several femtosecond and nanosecond laser systems An international environment of mutually supportive people A flat hierarchy: everyone's opinion weighs the same in scientific discussions Excellent working conditions and an internationally competitive salary Support for attending international conferences and workshops An extensive network of scientific collaborators Access to the excellent technological infrastructure of ETH Zurich Administrative support chevron_right Working, teaching and research at ETH Zurich We value diversity In line with to find out how we ensure a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish. Curious? So are we. We look forward to receiving your online application. Please submit the following. A cover letter stating your motivation for this position and your experience in working with class-IV lasers A CV including publications and presentations Diplomas and a list of courses attended References (optional) as PDF files Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal.
