About this position

Postdoctoral opening in ultrafast spectroscopy and excited-state dynamics in energy materials within the Marie Curie Network LEAPS-ULTRAFAST. The project is a 3-year postdoc hosted through a collaboration between SwissFEL / Paul Scherrer Institute and the Laboratory for Energy Materials at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

The research focuses on halide perovskite semiconductors and nanocrystals, including fully molecular, inorganic, and hybrid/halide perovskite systems. Possible directions include chirality, magnetism, spin-photophysics, local symmetry, confinement, and how composition and structure shape photoexcited-state dynamics. The project combines two complementary experimental environments: ultrafast X-ray absorption/emission/diffraction at SwissFEL Alvra and ultrafast magneto-chiroptical spectroscopy plus materials synthesis/characterization at EPFL.

The fellow is expected to propose an independent research direction and develop a strong proposal that makes full use of the available facilities. The post is especially relevant for candidates with interests in physics, chemistry, and materials science, particularly those working on spectroscopy, nanomaterials, energy materials, or light-matter interactions.

Funding is through the Marie Curie Network; the position lasts up to 3 years. The post mentions access to major facilities and advanced laser systems, but does not specify a stipend amount in the announcement.

Applications close on 2026-09-30, and the fellowship is expected to start at the beginning of 2027. Interested applicants can also contact the supervisors informally with a CV, publication list, and research proposal idea before submitting the formal application.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
