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).
