Scope of workfull-time position suitable for part-time

Your responsibilities

Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

The project aims to connect first-principles approaches and algorithms used within in molecular physics, with tools to describe light-matter interacting systems employed in quantum optics. A focus will be on molecular complexes and on THz and chiral cavity setups, which utilize non-reciprocal metasurfaces and nanoparticle-on-mirror geometries. Besides working on these topics the research associate may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

Your profile

A university degree in a relevant field, plus doctorate.

The project-specific qualifications include a strong background in molecular quantum optics, modelling of photonic environments and first-principles methods for simulating molecular structures and dynamics. Experience with dedicated machine-learning approaches and optovibronic light-matter interactions are beneficial.
