Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
PhD opening in light-matter interaction at the U ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
One PhD position in theoretical solid state physics funded by the Deutsche Forschung Gemeinschaft (DFG) via the Collaborative Research Center NOA is open in the group of Prof. Silvana Botti at the Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena, Germany.
*_Nonlinear Optics down to Atomic scales (NOA)_*
Composed by 13 projects, NOA explores fundamental nonlinear processes of light-matter interaction in low-dimensional nanostructures, such as atomically thin layers, nanoparticles and -wires, nanostructured surfaces and molecular-plasmonic hybrid materials.
*_PhD profile_*
The PhD student will work on the project A2 "Theory of nonlinear light-matter-interaction in atomic membranes".
The person to hire should have a background in physics, theoretical chemistry and/or material science. A sound knowledge of quantum mechanics and a basic understanding of density functional theory and/or many-body physics is also requested. We will favor candidates with programming capabilities.
*_The University of Jena_*
The successful applicant will become part of the research group of Prof. Silvana Botti at the Institute of Condensed Matter Theory and Solid State Optics (IFTO) of the almost 500 year-old Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena. IFTO is known as a center for the development of theoretical and numerical methods and their application in condensed matter/materials science, linear and
nonlinear optics and plasmonics. The research activities comprise novel effects in traditional and new materials, including nano- and metamaterials. Most research activities are devoted to the comprehensive understanding of light-matter interactions on both microscopic and macroscopic levels. There is a long-standing experience in the inclusion of many-body effects, nanostructuring, and functionalization of surfaces and interfaces and in nonlinear and nano-optics.
*_Jena, city of light*_
With about 1,000 researchers in the fields of optics and photonics as well as more than 9,000 employees in the high-tech industries Jena is an European centre in the field of light-based technologies. There are more than 100 companies in Jena that belong to the optoelectronic industry and precision engineering, among them well established companies as Carl Zeiss AG, JENOPTIK AG and SCHOTT AG.
*_How to apply_*
The position is for 3 years and should start as soon as possible.
Applications can be done using the doctoral (PhD) positions branch within the Abbe School of Photonics' Online Application System, choosing "DFG SFB 1375 NOA" in the dropdown menu in the last step. In your application, please make sure to state clearly that you apply for project A2 and/or your preferred supervisor.
