Post Doctoral Researcher, Gundlach Group

Context Of The Job

The Gundlach group is developing and using femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to investigate excited state dynamics in hybrid and solid-state materials. Transport and transfer of energy are the most critical processes that determine the evolution of a system, and they are essential for a broad range of applications. In particular, the coupling between excitations is essential for the transfer or transduction and can occur on time scales as short as a few femtoseconds. The necessary experimental techniques to study these processes are developed, improved, and applied to a broad range of materials systems in our group.

Major Responsibilities

• Setup and commissioning of a 2D-THz instrument based on a commercial novel 25 fs, >3mJ laser system.
• Conduct benchmark experiments on new magnetic systems in collaboration with the MRSEC CHARM center.
  
  

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or related fields.
• A strong demonstrated background in method development in ultrafast laser spectroscopy is required.
• Background in time-domain THz spectroscopy and/or 2D spectroscopy is preferred.
• The candidate should have excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
• Experience in the dynamics of magnetic materials will be viewed favorably
