There is the possibility of pursuing a doctorate.
We are offering a position in experimental condensed matter physics focused on studying femtosecond dynamics of spins and of atoms in antiferromagnets. Antiferromagnets are promising candidate materials for next-generation spintronics, and the coupling between magnetic and atomic order may serve as a key ingredient in unlocking their potential.
The project will use several ultrafast experimental techniques, with the primary ones being femtosecond electron diffraction, carried out in our labs at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (in Berlin-Dahlem), and ultrafast X-ray diffraction carried out at particle accelerator facilities such as BESSY II in Berlin-Adlershof. The project will be carried out in the team of Dr. William Windsor within the “Ultrafast Nanoscience” group of Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer. This highly diverse and international team employs ultrafast diffraction techniques to study a wide range of ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter systems.
Experimental work is done in a team environment. The applicant is then expected to pursue their research work independently.
We are looking for highly motivated, curious, and enthusiastic, researchers with excellent academic records and strong interests in fundamental materials’ physics, ultrafast science, and their potential intersection. BSc or MSc level research experience in one of the following fields is an advantage:
Interested candidates are requested to send a letter of motivation, a CV and a complete list of publications together with the contact details of two references to Dr. William Windsor (windsor@tu-berlin.de), quoting the reference number in the E-mail subject.
