Open PhD and PD positions

We regularly have open PhD positions as well as a possible postdoc position. The available projects mainly include but are not limited to, time-resolved spectroscopy of quantum matter with an emphasis on ultrafast optical control of various ferroics (ferro-, antiferromagnets, ferroelectrics, multiferroics, etc. ). For more information on our projects please see the section on research and recent publications.

Excellent candidates with a background in physics or materials science please email Dr. Dima Afanasiev and Prof. Dr. Alexey Kimel (Aleksei.Kimel[at]ru.nl) your CV together with a brief description of your research interests. Please provide the names of the referees who can provide recommendation letters upon request. In the application explain why you are interested in doing research in our group.

For candidates for position of postdoc, experience with the following techniques will be considered as an advantage: magneto-optics, ultrashort pulses, THz spectroscopy, strong-field mid- and far-infrared optics.

If you want to learn informally about the way the group works, feel free to contact any group members directly  https://www.ru.nl/science/uscm/staff/people/. Also, don't hesitate to email us, if you have additional questions
