PhD position in ultrafast dynamics of solids:

100%, Zurich, fixed-term:

The Ultrafast Dynamics Group (Prof. Steven Johnson) in the Department of Physics of ETH Zürich has an open PhD position.

Project background:

The ultrafast dynamics group studies the electronic and structural dynamics of solid-state materials on time scales ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds.

By understanding and to some extent controlling these dynamics, we investigate new ways to control such materials on time scales well beyond state-of-the-art methods for materials modification.

We also gain unique insights into the mechanisms that lead to the functionality of many modern materials.

Job description:

This project will be based in Prof.

Steven Johnson's Ultrafast Dynamics Group at ETH Zürich, and will also involve significant interaction with personnel at the Paul Scherrer Institute.

X-ray measurements will take place at large-scale facilities both in Switzerland and abroad.

Your profile:

You hold a Master's degree in physics or a strongly related field.
A demonstrated proficiency in condensed matter physics is required, and experience with ultrafast optical or xray experiments is beneficial.
You must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written English and must be enthusiastic, creative and selfmotivated.

We offer:

ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.

We value diversity:

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture.

We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
