We are excited to announce an opening for a PhD position within the EU "Ultrafast Picoscopy of Solids". This Project lies at the intersection of material science, quantum chemistry, electrical engineering, and quantum engineering, focusing on the cutting-edge technology of manipulating and harnessing the properties of matter at the atomic and electronic levels.



The 21st century demands novel imaging techniques that allow us to delve into the dynamics of valence electrons in matter, observing their behavior in space (tens of picometers) and time (from femtoseconds to attoseconds). This project aims to develop and utilize ultrafast picoscopy, a groundbreaking method that combines intense laser fields and state-of-the-art laser pulses to achieve unprecedented resolution in both space and time.



The successful development and implementation of ultrafast picoscopy are expected to significantly impact a wide range of scientific disciplines, including Physics, Quantum Chemistry, Material science, information technology.

THESE ARE YOUR TASKS:

developing of experimental tools required for ultrafast picoscopy creating theoretical and numerical tools for detailed analysis and interpretation of experimental data collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to meet the project's grant objectives

THIS MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT:

completed university degree (state exam, diploma, master's degree or comparable degree) in Physics with preferably good results strong interest in basic research experience in lasers good command of programming tools such as MATLAB and LabVIEW good understanding of optics and nonlinear optics ability to work independently as well as in a team and in new subjects areas possibility to start the promotion very good knowledge of the German or English language is mandatory previous experience in ultrafast science (ultrafast techniques) or simulations of scattering phenomena of electromagnetic waves with matter will be a strong advantage

WE AS AN EMPLOYER:

Equal opportunities are important to us. We welcome applications from suitable severely disabled people or people from traditionally underrepresented groups. We aim to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore encourage suitably qualified women to apply. We welcome applications from people of other nationalities or with a migration background.

WE OFFER YOU:

FURTHER INFORMATION:

We will determine the experience level individually, taking into account your previous professional experience.



The temporal limitation of the employment relationship is based on § 2 (2) Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz.



We look forward to receiving your application (cover letter, CV, degree certificate stating your final grade) by 14.10.2025 at the latest. We can only consider applications received via our homepage. Please send us your documents via the ‘Online application’ button at the end of a job offer. Unfortunately, we cannot accept e-mail applications.
