We are currently looking for talented and motivated collaborators with the following profiles. If you are interested by one of these positions, please send us your application and your cv.
Post-doctoral fellow – Fluorescence engineering with metasurfaces
In the framework of a large project on hybrid metasurfaces that combine metal and dielectric nanostructures, we wish to investigate experimentally their interaction with different emitters (fluorescent molecules, quantum dots). We are looking for a collaborator able to lead this experimental effort and apply her/his creativity to explore original effects that benefit from the combination of electric and magnetic responses produced in hybrid metasurfaces. We offer an extensive research infrastructure that will enable this new collaborator to advance her/his scientific career in collaboration with a small team of PhD students.
Requirements: PhD in physics, chemistry, materials sciences or related topics. Proven experience and advanced skills in fluorescence engineering, possibly with plasmonic nanostructures or metasurfaces. Mastery of the corresponding experimental techniques, including lifetime measurements. A good comprehension of the functioning principles of metasurfaces is a definite advantage. Sense of responsibility and creativity. Scientific leadership and good communication skills.
Post-doctoral fellow – Advanced active/passive metasurfaces
Our on-going research in the field of metasurfaces includes modeling, nanotechnology and optical characterization. We are looking for a creative collaborator to develop original applications of active metasurfaces. We offer an extensive research infrastructure that will enable this new collaborator to advance her/his scientific career in collaboration with a small team of PhD students.
Requirements: PhD in physics, chemistry, materials sciences or related topics. Proven experience and advanced skills in metasurfaces, including nanofabrication and characterization in the visible optical range. Sense of responsibility and creativity. Scientific leadership and good communication skills.
Post-doctoral fellow – Plasmon-enhanced organic LED
Within a collaborative project with EMPA and ETHZ, we wish to develop different strategies to enhance the emission of organic light emitting diodes (LEDs) and we are looking for a post-doctoral fellow who would take a pivotal and leading role in this project.
Requirements: PhD in the broad topics of photonics, surface science, chemistry or nanotechnology, with a specialization in one of the following areas: thin films, self-assembly of materials, functional polymers, chemical based manufacturing and assembly, organic dyes or light emitting diodes. Mastery of the corresponding experimental and characterization techniques. Proven research and publication records. Taste for collaborative projects and sense of responsibility.
