We are looking for PhD students/postdocs within an exciting ERC Consolidator funded project focused on the exploration of novel optically active spin qubits in two- and one-dimensional materials, with applications in quantum sensing, nanoscale magnetic resonance, single molecule spectroscopy, and spin hyperpolarization.

Job Description

The successful candidate will:

  • Engineer and characterize optically active spin defects in low-dimensional materials.
  • Develop and implement optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) experiments.
  • Perform spin control experiments, investigate coherence properties and spin-spin interactions for spin-polarization transfer mechanisms.
  • Contribute to the development of new quantum sensing methodologies for broad applications in materials science, chemistry and biology.

Your Profile

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a Master's degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline. Experience in one or more of the following areas is advantageous:

  • Solid state physics
  • Physical chemistry
  • Magnetic resonance or spin physics
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Nanomaterials or defect engineering
  • Quantum sensing or quantum technologies

Strong analytical skills, curiosity, and the ability to work independently and within a collaborative environment are essential.

We Offer

  • A fully funded doctoral position within an ERC-funded project.
  • Access to state-of-the-art quantum sensing and spectroscopy infrastructure.
  • A collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment.
  • Opportunities for international collaborations and conference participation.
  • Structured doctoral training within a leading research university.

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:

  • CV and motivation letter (max. 1 page).
  • Copies of available BSc/MSc diplomas or current transcripts.
  • Contact details of two referees (please inform them that they might get contacted).
