A Ph D 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 Bewerbung und Kontakt Please email one PDF (CV + brief statement of research interests) to Dr.
