Job Description

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
