About this position
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University is recruiting a two-year postdoctoral researcher for a new project on ultrafast dynamics of trapped dielectric nanoparticles. The position is based in the Materials and light group, where research spans ultrafast dynamics in dielectrics, semiconductors and scintillators, as well as light-based applications.
The postdoc will help establish a new experimental platform for studying dielectric nanoparticles with optical pump–probe experiments. The work also includes constructing a new nanoparticle trap and setting up a CEP-stabilized laser system to investigate attosecond carrier dynamics. A further part of the project is to compare experiments and simulations in order to gain new insight into ultrafast material dynamics.
The successful candidate will join a research environment with laboratories, shared equipment, and a collaborative atmosphere that encourages open and critical discussion. The role also offers opportunities to disseminate results through papers and conferences, and to interact with less experienced group members in the research group.
The position is associated with the work of Professor Peter Balling and the Department’s broader experimental and theoretical physics community at Aarhus University.

What's required
Applicants should hold a PhD in experimental physics, photonics or a similar field. Experience with particle trapping and/or ultrafast-laser techniques is strongly preferred, and experience with high-harmonic generation and attosecond dynamics is an advantage. Applicants should be self-motivated and independent, able to contribute to a collaborative group environment, show interest in co-supervising less experienced group members, and have proficiency in spoken and written English. The application must be in English and include a CV, degree certificate, complete list of publications, statement of future research plans, information about research activities, teaching portfolio, and verified information on previous teaching experience if any.
How to apply
Submit the application through Aarhus University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement page. Include the required documents in English before the deadline. Shortlisting will be used, and selected applicants will be evaluated by an assessment committee.
