Research PhD Candidate in Quantum Materials

vor 4 Wochen


Dresden, Sachsen, Deutschland Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) Vollzeit

At Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), a vibrant community of approximately 1,500 professionals from over 70 countries is dedicated to addressing significant societal challenges through innovative research in ENERGY, HEALTH, and MATTER.

The Institute for Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research focuses on exploring materials and their nanostructures for potential applications in information technology, emphasizing electrical, magnetic, and optical functionalities.

A cutting-edge technique, two-dimensional (2D) coherent THz spectroscopy, employs a collinear interaction geometry of sequential THz pulses with samples. This method is pivotal for investigating non-linear optical effects across various materials, particularly in revealing the unique lattice and magnetic characteristics of quantum materials.

The Department of Spectroscopy is seeking a talented PhD Student (f/m/d) to leverage this innovative technique in the examination of exotic magnetic excitations within functional materials, specifically focusing on fractionalized spinon excitations in quantum spin liquid candidates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Enhance a standard 2D THz spectroscopy setup for reflection/transmission measurements at low temperatures.
  • Conduct 2D THz spectroscopy studies on selected materials.
  • Collaborate with theoretical partners to interpret the observed phenomena.

Candidate Profile

  • Completed university education (Master/Diploma) in Physics, Material Science, or a related discipline.
  • Strong understanding of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics.
  • Experience in ultrafast spectroscopic techniques is advantageous.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a focus on teamwork in a multidisciplinary environment.
  • Proficient in English.

Our Offer

  • A dynamic research environment characterized by diversity and international collaboration.
  • Opportunities for scientific excellence and extensive professional networking.
  • A structured PhD program offering a wide range of continuing education and networking possibilities.
  • Competitive salary and benefits in line with public sector agreements, including 30 days of paid leave and a company pension scheme.
  • Support for a healthy work-life balance, including options for part-time work, remote working, and flexible hours.
  • Comprehensive health management programs.
  • Employee discounts through Corporate Benefits.
  • Employer contribution for public transport tickets.

We eagerly await your application documents, including a cover letter, CV, and academic transcripts, to be submitted through our online application system.
