The Research institute AMOLF is part of the institutes organization of Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. The Photonic Forces group at AMOLF invites applications form talented PhD students in the field of nano-optomechanics.
About the project:
- The new ways to control photons and phonons at the nanoscale, by making them strongly interact with one another through radiation pressure forces in engineered on-chip nanophotonic systems will be studied.
- The aim is to experimentally observe unusual forms of phonon propagation, in unidirectional states that are topologically protected.
- To develop new ways to create and measure quantum states of mechanical resonators using light.
Qualifications
- Candidate must have a background in physics, with relevant experience (preferably in quantum optics, photonics, (nano)mechanics or AMO physics).
- Candidate will need to meet the requirements for an MSc-degree, to ensure eligibility for a Dutch PhD examination.
Duration:
The position is intended as full-time (40 hours / week, 12 months / year)
Applications:
Apply online and annex the following documents:
- Resume
- Motivation on why you want to join the group (max. 1 page).
- Motivation letter describing importance of joining the team.
