- coherent controlled molecular and solid state dynamics
- molecule imaging
- extreme timescale spectroscopy
- ultrafast optics and x-ray science
- relevance and applications in chemistry, biology and medicine
Duration: 3-year
Starting date: Summer/autumn 2018
Requirements:
- Applicant must be highly motivated with an excellent academic background.
- Applicants must hold or expected to complete Master’s degree or an equivalent degree in Physics, Chemistry or related areas.
How to apply:
- Applications must be submitted online.
