Open until filled
Fields:
Physics, Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, Photonics, Electrical EngineeringThe Max-Born-Institute (MBI) is seeking applications for a PhD position in the area of ultrafast magnetization dynamics probed by laser-generated extreme ultraviolet radiation. This research aims to experimentally investigate the fundamental mechanisms of ultrafast magnetization reversal in thin magnetic films, a phenomenon with significant implications for both data storage technologies and solid-state physics research.The successful candidate will join a team utilizing advanced high harmonic generation techniques to perform ultrafast, element-selective spectroscopy on magnetic thin film systems. The laboratory is equipped with a state-of-the-art, high-power laser system capable of sub-10 femtosecond pulse durations. The position offers a stimulating research environment with opportunities for national and international collaboration, as well as theoretical support via in-house ab-initio electronic structure calculations. The candidate will also be part of the Graduate School of the Collaborative Research Center “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics.”
Requirements
– Master of Science or Diploma degree in Physics (or closely related field) with above average grades– Strong motivation and ability to work effectively in a team environment– Hands-on experience in optical laboratory work– Beneficial experience includes: ultrashort laser pulses, soft x-rays, vacuum technology, and data analysis software (e.g., Matlab, Python)
Offer
– Fully funded 3-year PhD program– Salary according to the German TVöD scheme (75%)– Equal opportunity employer with a focus on supporting women and individuals with disabilities– Family-friendly work environment certified by audit berufundfamilie
Application Process
Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, certificates, and a description of previous professional activities. Please submit your application electronically via the MBI online recruiting platform: https://mbi-berlin.de/career. The position is open until filled.
