Overview

Applications are invited for postdoc and PhD positions link to a five-year project on the topic of Quantum Spectroscopy: exploring new states of matter out of equilibrium as part of an European Research Council Advanced grant (QSpec-NewMat ERC project).

The project will be conducted between the Theory Department of the Max Plank Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg and the NanoBio Spectroscopy Group and ETSF Scientific Development Centre in Spain.

Requirements

1. Candidates from Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science both at student and postdoctoral level.
2. D. students must hold a Masters Degree (diploma) requiring the completion of a master thesis or equivalent.
3. Post-docs must hold a Ph.D. degree and are offered a position for 1 up to 3 years, dependent on qualification.
4. A strong background in theoretical and computational chemistry, photochemistry or chemical physics is desirable.
5. Previous experience using quantum mechanical methods and atomistic simulations and proficiency in scientific programming are essential.

REQUIRED

Physics: Master Degree or equivalent

Chemistry: Master Degree or equivalent

The successful candidate will work on one (or more) of the following general topics linked to the QSpec-NewMat ERC project:

1. QEDFT and open-quantum systems,
2. QED and optimal control theory
3. Fundamentals of TDDFT and many-body
4. Time-resolved photoelectron/coherent spectroscopy
5. Light induced topological phases in matter
