le contenu du travail

Several open positions are available at Peter Grünberg Institute - Quantum Nanoscience (PGI-3). The positions are funded by the European Union through the ERC Synergy Grant “Photoemission Orbital Cinematography: An Ultrafast Wavefunction Lab”. Directly watching in slow-motion videos how electrons move in quantum mechanical orbitals and how this motion shapes the functionalities of condensed matter has been a dream shared by all natural and life sciences. Based on synergies between photoemission orbital tomography, ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy, lightwave electronics and advanced theory, the project “Orbital Cinema” https://orbital-cinema.eu/ will turn this dream into reality, by creating a cinematography at unprecedented time scales, faster than a single oscillation period of light.

Your Job:

We look for excellent candidates who are interested in experimental work in the field of ultrathin and highly ordered molecular films.
Your primary tasks will be:

  • Development and characterization of tailormade materials for orbital cinematography at the Sample Foundry in Jülich
  • Coordination of sample development and ultrafast laser experiments
  • Participation in light wave electronics and time-resolved two photon-photoemission experiments
  • Collaboration with theorists to obtain full understanding of the developed samples systems
  • Supervision of PhD students
  • Preparation of scientific publications and presentations
  • Participation in and presentation at conferences in Germany and abroad

Your Profile:

  • Master’s degree and PhD in Physics, Chemistry or Material Science with excellent grades
  • Experience in surface science (e.g., photoelectron spectroscopy or microscopy, electron diffraction, scanning probe microscopy)
  • Experience with ultrathin molecular films is welcome but not strictly required
  • High degree of independence and commitment
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Fluent written and spoken English
  • Analytic problem-solving capabilities and creativity
  • Reliable and thorough working style

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

  • Postdoc project at the leading edge of science
  • An international, highly motivated and interdisciplinary team of experimentalists and theorists working at leading European Universities and Research Establishments
  • Outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure
  • Participation in a 11,3 Mio € ERC Synergy Project; ERC Synergy Projects are one of the most prestigious European research awards
  • Continuous scientific mentoring by at least two scientific advisors
  • Opportunities to build up your scientific network across Europe
  • Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
  • Extensive company health management
  • Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
  • Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service

We offer you an exciting and varied role in an international and interdisciplinary working environment. The position is initially for a fixed term of 3 years, with possible long-term prospects. Salary and social benefits will conform to the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVöD-Bund) depending on the applicant’s qualifications and the precise nature of the tasks assigned to them.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
