The project involves the design development and commissioning of a novel 2D THz spectrometer. The spectrometer is being developed to study dynamics in novel magnetic quantum materials developed as part of an MRSEC center at UD. This postdoctoral position offers an exciting opportunity to work on a wellfunded project with stateoftheart laser technology.
CONTEXT OF THE JOB:
The Gundlach group is developing and using femtosecond timeresolved spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to investigate excited state dynamics in hybrid and solidstate 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 2DTHz 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 timedomain 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
