About VU Amsterdam
VU Amsterdam is a world-leading research university dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering a culture of innovation. Our research focuses on addressing the grand challenges facing our world, from climate change to social inequality. As a PhD researcher in our Materials Science department, you will be part of a vibrant community of scholars who are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD researcher to join our team working on advanced nanophotonics and materials science. As a PhD researcher, you will be responsible for designing and fabricating novel nanostructures using state-of-the-art modelling and lithography techniques. You will also use time-resolved and steady-state spectroscopic and imaging techniques to study photothermal processes, and design and build experimental setups for light-driven physics and chemistry. Additionally, you will initiate and lead complementary research collaborations with internal and external partners, and disseminate your research through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.
Responsibilities
- Design and fabricate nanostructures using advanced modelling and lithography techniques
- Conduct research on photothermal processes using time-resolved and steady-state spectroscopic and imaging techniques
- Design and set up experiments for light-driven physics and chemistry
- Lead research collaborations with internal and external partners
- Disseminate research findings through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations
Requirements
To be considered for this position, you must have a Master's degree in physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or a closely related field. A strong background in practical skills in carrying out physical experiments and/or building optical/spectroscopic setups is highly desirable. Prior research experience in nanophotonics, photochemistry, cleanroom fabrication, and/or optical microscopy and spectroscopy is also considered a plus. You must have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, and a team-player mentality and a kind and social attitude.
What We Offer
We offer a challenging position in a socially engaged organisation, with a salary of € 2,200.00 (PhD) and maximum € 3,000.00 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment. Additionally, we offer an employment contract of initially 1 year, which will be extended to a total of 4 years if there is sufficient perspective. You will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project, and to contribute to the development of new materials and technologies. You will also have access to a wide range of sports facilities and a comprehensive benefits package.
Why VU Amsterdam
VU Amsterdam is a world-leading research university that is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse community. We believe that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our teaching, research and service. We are always looking for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to creating an inclusive community so that we can use diversity as an asset.
