The University of Oldenburg is seeking to fill the following position:

Postdoctoral Research Scientist “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics” (Postdoc)

Paygrade E13
Working Hours100% (suitable for part-time)
InstitutionSchool V of Mathematics and Science, Ultrafast Nano-Optics group
LocationOldenburg (Old)
Application Deadline06.12.2024

About us

In the framework of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1372 “Magnetoreception and navigation in vertebrates” (https://www.sfb1372.de) we will develop new ultrafast spectroscopy techniques to explore spin coherences during radical-pair formation in cryptochromes. The experiments shall provide new insight into the question whether light-induced spin coherences are of relevance for magnetic field sensing of birds.

Your tasks

You will be responsible for setting up, performing and analyzing the planned experiments in close collaboration with partners from Oldenburg and Oxford (s. D. Timmer et al., JACS, 145, 11566, 2023). 

Your profile

We are seeking candidates with a qualifying university degree in physics or related areas. We expect competence in at least two areas comprising ultrafast optics, spectroscopy, molecular physics, nanoscience, and solid-state physics. We expect high motivation, good communication skills and the ability to work in a team.

We Offer

We are offering a scientific environment and infrastructure to perform cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research. You will be encouraged to make use of this infrastructure to establish an independent research profile. 

Our standards
