PhD Candidate in Nanooptics | PhD candidate in Nanooptics (f/m/d)

Job Summary

The Leibniz Institute of Photonics Technology (Leibniz IPHT) is seeking a part-time (75%) PhD candidate to join its Nanooptics Research Department. This role, part of the CRC-1375 NOA subproject C1, focuses on exploring fundamental non-linear light-matter interactions in low-dimensional nanostructures. The successful candidate will design and fabricate nanostructures, perform simulations using tools like FDTD and COMSOL, and conduct optical characterization to study local chemical reactions at a single-molecule level using plasmonic hot spot-assisted time-resolved broadband coherent Raman spectroscopy. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research, present findings at conferences, publish in journals, and collaborate within an interdisciplinary and internationally focused research environment with world-class facilities.
