Post-doctoral researcher

In the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Oldenburg the Institute of Physics is offering a position for a

Post-doctoral researcher (m, f, d)

in the research group "Quantum Materials" of Prof. Dr. C. Schneider. The position should start the 1^st of December 2024, and will be offered under the following conditions:

E13 TV-L / 100% (until 30.09.26)
E13 TV-L / 50% (subsequently until 30.09.28)

The requirements for employment are a completed academic University degree and a PhD degree in Physics. We are looking for talented and motivated candidates with advanced experimental experience in optical spectroscopy of semiconductor microcavities and two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The research project will focus on the study of formation and condensation of exciton-polaritons in van der Waals heterostructures of two-dimensional TMDCs, as well as magnetic van der Waals materials.

Since the candidate will independently coordinate this research activity a proven track record in independent research is required (e.g. certified via previous fellowships).

Relevant expertise with the following necessary spectroscopic methods and methods of material preparation is expected: µPL in the visible and infrared, time resolved spectroscopy, photon correlation spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy with angle resolution, magneto-optical spectroscopy preparation of van der Waals heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides. Handling of mode-locked laser systems is required. Experience with studies of coupled emitter- microcavity structures is expected. Competent English language skills are required.

The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increasing the percentage of female employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In accordance with Lower Saxony regulations (§ 21 Section 3 NHG) female candidates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.
