About this position
This PhD position at Radboud University focuses on applied infrared spectroscopy using ultrabroadband sources, specifically intrapulse difference frequency generation (IDFG) in the mid-infrared range. The successful candidate will join the Trace Detection Laboratory (TDLab) within the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) at the Faculty of Science, working on the development and deployment of advanced spectroscopic instruments for multispecies gas detection. The research involves building and optimizing a field-deployable spectrometer, performing field measurements using coherent open-path spectroscopy (COPS), and analyzing data for applications such as environmental monitoring of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, as well as plasma-based conversion of industrial waste gases. The project leverages cutting-edge technology, including an in-house built Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and high-power IDFG sources, to achieve high sensitivity and broad spectral coverage (2–11.5 µm). The lab collaborates with national and international partners across various sectors, including pollution monitoring, biomedical applications, agri-food industry, and emission/exposure measurements. The position offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international research environment, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration. The employment package includes a competitive salary, holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus, extra annual leave, dual career coaching, pension plan, and discounts on sports and cultural activities. Applicants should have a Master's degree in physics, engineering, photonics, or a related field, with strong skills in optics, laser spectroscopy, and signal processing. Experience with lasers, spectroscopy, and programming (Matlab, LabView, Python) is preferred. The candidate should be motivated, communicative, creative, and able to work both independently and in a team. Fluency in English and good communication skills are required. The application deadline is November 2, 2025. Interested candidates should apply online via the Radboud University job portal.
