Postdoctoral Fellow in Ultrafast Optics/Statistical Physics

Details

Title Postdoctoral Fellow in Ultrafast Optics/Statistical Physics

School Faculty of Arts and Sciences

Department/Area Rowland Institute at Harvard

Position Description

The nature of equilibrium fluctuatiuons of ions, atoms and electrons on their native pico-attosecond timescale determine their dissipative properties and ultimately the limitations on device effeciencies. We are building an experimental system to probe these fluctuations in real time. We invite applications from postdoctoral candidates who are interested in this problem and who are equipped with the tools to address the challenges surrounding building such an experimental toolkit; from the ultrafast optics to the spatial resolution and statistical data analysis.

Basic Qualifications

PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering or any field with relevant skillsets will be considered. Currently, expertise in digital signal processing, nonlinear optics, local probe microscopy ( STM ), statistical physics and on-the-fly high throughput programming are sought out, but this list is not exhaustive.

Additional Qualifications

Additional considerations will be given to candidates with a strong grasp of mathematics and also who have previously built experimental setups.
