PhD Position on Terahertz-Driven Ultrafast Dynamics of Quantum Materials
100 %

A PhD project is available in the Nonlinear Optics group at the Institute of Applied Science – University of Bern.

Our research uses ultrashort intense lasers and terahertz pulses to probe and control the properties of complex solids. We focus on the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum materials-including systems that exhibit macroscopic quantum phenomena (e.g., high-temperature superconductivity). By driving materials far from equilibrium and tracking their response on femtosecond timescales, we access structural, spin, and electronic dynamics and uncover the underlying out-of-equilibrium physics.

Aufgaben
• Conduct original research within the project.
• Prepare, perform, and analyze laser-based experiments (and related simulations/data analysis).
• Develop and optimize advanced ultrafast spectroscopic setups.
• Interpret results in the context of condensed-matter physics and materials science.
• Write reports and publications, present talks and posters at international conferences.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners and contribute to day-to-day lab activities.
 
Anforderungen
• Master's degree in physics or a closely related field.
• Background/interest in experimental condensed matter and/or optics.
• Experience with nonlinear optics and/or optical spectroscopy is a plus (not essential).
• Motivation to work with ultrafast lasers; readiness to participate in experiments at large-scale facilities.
• Ability to work both independently and in a team
 
Wir bieten
• Access to well-equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art laser systems.
• A stimulating, collaborative environment with close interactions across the institute and international partners.
• Excellent opportunities for scientific and professional growth
