Offer Description
The project is focused on the study of novel optical properties of diamond light-emitting optical centers embedded in diamond thin films and single-crystal diamond. The PostDoc/PhD will employ means of time-resolved spectroscopy to investigate PL spectra and decay, quantum yield and single-photon emission of the NV, SiV, GeV centers in photonic structures using state-of-the-art experimental equipment. Furthermore, he will have a chance to learn a CVD growth of diamond samples.
Position: The fellow will be part of a young research team. She/he will be responsible mostly for experimental study of the fabricated samples. But also will have a chance to fabricate the samples. Namely, she/he will work in the optical laboratory using ultrafast fs laser, streak camera and pump&probe technique, streak camera, TCSPC and optical He cryostat) etc. The fellow will build new experimental setups, program them with LABVIEW, analyze the data and write manuscripts.
Qualification:
• Masters in physics (optics, semiconductor and solid-state physics or nanostructures)
• A reasonable background in optical spectroscopy techniques, experience in experimental work with lasers, building confocal microscopy setup, single-dot spectroscopy etc. Experience in building and designing experiments.
• Expertise in photonic crystals and computation techniques such as FDTD is considered a plus but is not mandatory.
• Good oral and written English.
Application: Applications should include:
• A CV and list of publications.
• Names and e-mail addresses of two referees
Funding: This position is generously funded by the Czech Academy of Sciences via the Lumina project (Czech equivalent to the ERC). A full-time position funded for 3 years. Salary will depend on the experience, 5 weeks of holiday, various employee benefits.
Starting date: when filled with an appropriate candidate
