2 PHD POSITIONS AT UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE MADRID MARIE SKLODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS TRAINING NETWORK “QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE
AND ULTRAFAST NON-LINEAR COHERENT CONTROL AT THE ATTOSECOND TIME SCALE (QU-ATTO)”
PhD 1: “Identifying new strategies for controlling entanglement and decoherence in molecular photoionization”. For application or more information, contact: fernando.martin@uam.es
Theoretical and computational project to be developed within the CAMPUS group, led by F. Martín, in close collaboration with the group of Marc Vrakking at MBI Berlin in which experiments will be performed tin parallel. The CAMPUS group has a long trajectory developing state-of-the-art theoretical tools in attosecond science and other fields to investigate ultrafast dynamics in atoms, molecules and condensed matter. Currently running the ERC-Synergy Grant TOMATTO: “The ultimate Time scale in Organic Molecular opto-electronics, the ATTOsecond”. More info about the group can be also found in the EU-project website: https://tomatto.eu/.
PhD 2: “Electronic correlation investigated by sculpted attosecond waveforms”. For application or more information, contact: alicia.palacios@uam.es
Project to be developed within a young research team lead by A. Palacios, working in close collaboration with the experimental qu-atto team (J. Mauritsson at Lund University and C. Callegari at FERMI) and with Prof. J. Feist (https://johannesfeist.eu/) from the Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC). Our joint project aims to explore the correlated electron dynamics induced by attosecond laser pulses, X-UV and X-Ray free electron lasers, strong electromagnetic fields and novel scenarios employing quantized light sources.
POSITION DETAILS: 36-month duration contract. The positions will start, preferably, within 2024. Positions remain open until filled.
CANDIDATES PROFILE: Master’s Degree in Physics, Chemistry or related fields. Background on numerical methods and/or programming skills will be valued.
APPLICATION: CV, motivation letter and records transcript to the above-indicated contact person.
