About the FSTM

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine.
Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM
seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

Your role

We are seeking a Doctoral Researcher to set up exciting experiments at the Department of Physics and Materials Science of the University of Luxembourg. In particular, we will target the development of advanced ultrafast tools and techniques with the goal to exploit them for the investigation of fundamental light-matter interaction processes occurring on the femtosecond timescale.

The doctoral student will employ and develop advanced techniques that make use of a multi-pulse approach to access several temporal and frequency dimensions for the observation of quantum interactions in materials like 2D chalcogenides. It will be possible to investigate how excitons, phonons, carriers and spins interact in complex band-structure landscapes. The main samples for the experimental studies will be layered semiconductors and heterostructures where the excitation leads to dynamical phenomena connected to quantum many-body interactions. The interest to perform these experiments lays on the potential use of these novel materials for quantum technology applications.

This project is inserted in the context of the QUANCOM Doctoral Training Unit fully funded by the Luxembourg National Research fund that aims to seed a National Quantum Initiative focused on fostering and harnessing emergent technologies enabled by the control of quantum systems to perform quantum information processing.
