AMOLF in Amsterdam is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on nanoscale charge and heat transfer at metal-semiconductor interfaces . The work sits at the intersection of physics , materials science , nanoscience , photonics , and condensed matter physics , with strong links to spectroscopy , optics , experimental physics , and solid-state physics . The project is hosted by the Hybrid Nanosystems group at AMOLF, headed by Wiebke Albrecht . Research will investigate how the atomic-scale structure and chemistry of metal-semiconductor interfaces govern charge and heat transfer. Methods include correlative single-particle optical spectroscopy , in situ electron microscopy , transmission electron microscopy , and pulsed-laser experiments to study energy transport in model nanosystems. This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in nanotechnology , ultrafast spectroscopy , energy transport phenomena , and the physics of next-generation electronic and photonic devices. The post is a full-time PhD appointment for four years at AMOLF/NWO-I. The starting salary is €3,115 gross per month , with employment benefits. Eligibility highlights: applicants should have an MSc degree in physics, nanoscience, or a related field . Backgrounds in physics, applied physics, materials science, nanotechnology, photonics and optics, or electrical engineering are mentioned as suitable. AMOLF also supports new international PhD students with housing and visa applications , and compensates transport and furnishing expenses. The vacancy is open until filled . Applications should be submitted online through the AMOLF vacancy page. For further information, contact Wiebke Albrecht at [email protected] .
