Doctoral (PhD) Position in Photophysics of 2D Quantum Materials

Uppsala University invites applications for a four-year doctoral position at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, focusing on solid state physics. The selected candidate will investigate the photophysical properties and defect passivation mechanisms of two-dimensional quantum materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides. Responsibilities include conducting advanced spectroscopic experiments, analyzing complex datasets, and preparing scientific manuscripts. The successful applicant will work independently and collaboratively within an international research environment at the Ångström Laboratory.

• Conduct advanced spectroscopic investigations including Raman, photoluminescence, and transient absorption spectroscopies.
• Design, execute, and analyze experiments to evaluate exciton dynamics and defect passivation in 2D materials.
• Write scientific articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to the doctoral thesis.
• Present research findings at internal group meetings and international scientific conferences.
• Participate in departmental teaching and administrative duties for up to twenty percent of working time.
