Postdoctoral Researcher: Investigating Atomic-Scale Processes

Research Opportunities

The Hybrid Nanosystems group at AMOLF is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate light-induced processes at the atomic scale. Our cutting-edge research infrastructure, including a unique TEM, will enable you to explore the technical possibilities of this new infrastructure and study how photochemical, photothermal, and photovoltaic processes alter materials at the atomic level.

Within this project, you will focus on two scientific research questions: 1) How can we atomically engineer metal nanoparticles through pulsed laser excitation? By directly visualizing light-induced atomic-scale changes inside the TEM, you will target to make and stabilize high-index facets and program atomic defects by kinetically trapping non-equilibrium structures. 2) How do mixed perovskite films demix? You will directly visualize the light-driven ion migration that leads to phase separation, helping to resolve the debate over the underlying mechanism.

This project is highly collaborative and embedded in a larger consortium of researchers at ARCNL, UvA, and VU working on photochemical, photothermal, and photovoltaic processes. You will work closely with the NanoLab Amsterdam staff, who are aiding in technical implementations, and collaborate with JEOL-IDES and ASI to push the underlying time resolution to ultrafast time scales.

Requirements

You need to meet the requirements for a doctorate and have research experience in a non-Dutch academic environment. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in transmission electron microscopy and strong social, organizational, and communication skills. Excellent verbal and written English skills are essential.

Work Environment

You will perform this research in the Hybrid Nanosystems research group headed by Wiebke Albrecht at AMOLF. The Hybrid Nanosystems group combines single-particle optical and advanced electron microscopy to answer fundamental questions about the complex interaction between different classes of nanomaterials.

AMOLF performs leading research on the fundamental physics and design foundations of natural and man-made complex matter, with research in 3 interconnected themes: sustainable energy materials, information in matter, and autonomous matter. AMOLF leverages these insights to create novel functional materials and find solutions to societal challenges in renewable energy, green ICT, and health care.

Working Conditions
  • The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly foreign employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication.
  • The position is intended as a full-time appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of 2 years.
  • Salary is in scale 10 (CAO-OI) which starts at 4.065 Euros gross per month, and a range of employment benefits.
  • AMOLF assists any new foreign postdoc with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
