Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cuttingedge research Empas around 1100 employees make essential contributions to the wellbeing of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Dualcomb spectroscopy (DCS) is a rapidly evolving techniques opening up new fields of applications. Our aim is to leverage on quantum cascade laser (QCL) based DCS and develop a spectrometer with unprecedented spectral resolution sensitivity and speed. Together with our partners we will apply this instrument to study the rovibrational nature of chiral molecules in the gas phase.
This interdisciplinary project is funded by Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Agency for Innovation Promotion. It lies at the interface of fundamental research and sciencebased innovation and involves close collaboration with our partners at ETH (Prof. F. Merkt and Prof. M. Quack) and ZHAW (Prof. J. Stohner).
Job description responsibilities and tasks:
Develop a dualcomb QCL spectrometer geared towards Vibrational Circular Dichroism
Implement a frequencylocking scheme and investigate novel (polarisation) schemes
Collaborate with ETH and ZHAW actively participate in the experiments advise/guide for longterm knowhow transfer
Publish the results in peerreviewed journals and present at international conferences
Your profile
PhD degree in Physics or a related field with a strong experimental background in frequencylocked lasers or optoelectronics. Experience with dualcomb laser spectroscopy is advantageous.
Handson experience with data acquisition and signal processing (GPU based)
Proficiency in data analysis using Python Matlab or similar
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are required.
