STI - PhD position in the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory (DQML)

EPFL |DQML

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 招满即止

Mission

In the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory we generate materials with properties that can be manipulated on a femtosecond time scale. By driving solids with intense ultrashort laser pulses, we directly address collective modes and operate at the fundamental timescales governing the dynamics in a material. These light-matter hybrids with tunable properties opens up new ways to understand how order forms in a quantum many-body system.Our research lies at the interface of quantum science, ultrafast laser optics and materials engineering. Students engaged in this interdisciplinary work will benefit from collaborations with world-leading experimental and theory groups at EPFL and beyond, the Center for Quantum Science & Engineering, the Lausanne Center for Ultrafast Science and the Center of Micro- NanoTechnology.

Main duties and responsibilities

The PhD position, supervised by Professor Gregor Jotzu, aims at exploring the light-induced control of quantum magnets and their phase transitions, ultrafast dynamics of superconductors, and unconventional non-equilibrium topological phases. Experimental tasks encompass generating strong mid-infrared and THz laser pulses, as well as establishing detection techniques including ultrafast optical spectroscopy and novel magnetometry in a cryogenic environment.

Profile

Candidates should be highly motivated for cutting-edge experimental research, demonstrating both teamwork and independent initiative. A solid background in physics or materials, especially optics, quantum and solid state physics, is important. Lab experience would be advantageous, particularly in areas like laser optics, cryogenics, material characterization, data acquisition or experiment control. Effective communication in English and programming skills are also beneficial. However, the key requirement is a willingness to learn and engage in challenging research.

We offer

• 4 years to complete your PhD with a competitive remuneration
• A world-class research and training environment with access to state-of-the-art research facilities;
• A multi-cultural and stimulating work environment;
• Term of employment: 1-year fixed-term contract (CDD), renewable for 4 years.

Informations

Within your application please include a comprehensive CV detailing relevant skills, transcripts (including Bachelor’s), and contact details for at least two potential referees. Briefly explain your interest in this specific research direction.

Vacancy number15158

Job typePhD positions

Hours (in fte)1,0

External/ internalExternal

LocationLeiden

Placed on24 September 2024

Closing date15 November 2024

The Department of World Archaeology, Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, is looking for a PhD Candidate in the field of Palaeolithic Archaeology to join a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and carried out at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University.

Project DescriptionThe Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, seeks to appoint a full-time PhD candidate to carry out research in Paleolithic Archaeology. The successful candidate will join the Department of World Archaeology of our Faculty. The research should lead you to obtain a PhD within a four-year timeframe (1.0 FTE).

The PhD candidate will be supervised by Dr Wei Chu (PI), Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University. The PhD candidate’s research is part of the ERC-funded Consolidator grant: HOME: Palaeolithic shelters in East-Central Europe.

The HOME project is divided into four interconnected Work Packages (WP) The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to WP4 where we will collect primary data on shelter use from karstic deposits in the Carpathians, under the supervision of the PI and in collaboration with other team members and make substantive contributions to other work packages.

Key tasks

• Investigate patterns of human cave exploitation in the Carpathians during the Late Pleistocene.
• Conduct collaborative and novel research field research in the field of Palaeolithic Archaeology.
• Conduct research activities, including sample collection, processing, and analyses with project partners in Eastern Central Europe;
• Managing, analyzing and integrating various types of archaeological, isotopic, and spatial datasets;
• Contribute to the overall aims of the HOME Project;
• Publish and present the work in international peer-reviewed journals and to academic and professional audiences, both independently and with team members;
• Actively participate in discussions at the faculty, department, and research group level on research innovation;
• Follow PhD courses based on an individual training and supervision plan, including through the Graduate School;
• Obtain a PhD by publishing several articles in peer-reviewed academic journals on a topic related to the research topics outlined above within a four-year timeframe.

Selection criteria

• Master’s degree completed by the time of the appointment in Archaeology, Anthropology, or related field;
• Demonstrable ability and enthusiasm for innovative and inter-disciplinary research in one or more of the above fields;
• Experience with quantitative research methods;
• Availability to travel and conduct fieldwork outside the Netherlands;
• Demonstrable good time-management, organizational, and communication skills;
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team in an organized and results-oriented fashion;
• The PhD thesis will be written in English and therefore excellent command of English is required;
• Drivers license and competency in Romanian (or willingness to learn) are desirable.
