We seek a highly motivated researcher to conduct experimental research on structural and electronic processes occurring during extremely short time periods, down to the femtosecond time scale (10-15 s). In your research, you will be part of a reseach constellation investigating ultrafast transient states in quantum materials using for Sweden unique instrumentation for THz spectroscopy, ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM), and ultrafast electron diffraction. When merged these instruments facilitate microscopic studies with the capacity track the position of atoms with a time resolution of a few hundred femtoseconds, facilitating the recording of "movies" that follows the atomic motion while a material go through a change in state. Research topics of special interest include dynamics of charge density waves, electron-phonon and phonon-phonon dynamics, and photo driven phase transitions.
Your research will include THz spectroscopy, UEM, ultrafast electron diffraction, diffuse scattering, electron energy loss spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, and femtosecond lasers.
Researchers are appointed primarily for purposes of research and must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills.
Research experience with quantum materials, femtosecond lasers, ultrafast electron microscopy, ultrafast electron diffraction, diffuse scattering, and time resolved spectroscopy is central to the position.
