Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in
(salary level TV-L E 13, 100%)
at the earliest possible date. We are offering a fixed-term full-time position (100%) for two years. The position provides the opportunity to gain advanced academic qualification in space- and time-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy of nonlinear spin waves in nanostructures.
Your tasks:
- Experimental investigation of nonlinear spin waves in magnetic nanostructures using space- and timeresolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy
- Numerical simulations of nonlinear magnetic dynamics
- Collaboration with external sample suppliers and theoreticians
Our expectations:
- A completed PhD in physics is required
- Experience in Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy is required
- Experience in experimental studies of spin waves is required
- Experience in numerical simulations of magnetization dynamics is required
- Knowledge in nonlinear physics is required
- Experience and knowledge of the software Origin and LabVIEW are required.
- Good command of written and spoken English is advantageous.
- German language skills are not a requirement but a willingness to learn would be desirable.
Advantages for you:
- Appreciation, commitment, openness and respect – values which are important to us.
- Our broad range of diverse work-time models offers great flexibility – also when working from home.
