"PhD Position in Emergent Phases in Quantum Matter: Experiment"

Job Summary

We are seeking an experimental physicist with a focus on angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) of quantum materials. You will collaborate with a theory PhD on holographic dualities as part of the Emergence at All Scales (EAAS) consortium, researching emergent phases in quantum matter, including the strange metal phase in high-temperature superconductors.

Responsibilities

• Conduct high-resolution ARPES and time-resolved ARPES experiments in the Amsterdam lab and at international facilities.
• Analyze data in combination with transport experiments and machine learning approaches.
• Collaborate with experimental and theory team members.
• Analyze and interpret data, leading to publications and presentations at conferences.
• Participate in interdisciplinary collaborations, scientific communication, and outreach activities.
• Assist in teaching and supervising students.

Qualifications and Requirements

• MSc in physics or a related discipline.
• Curiosity about nature and excitement for uncovering its secrets.
• Openness to learning and collaborating in an international environment.
• Effective communication in English.
• Passion for science communication and public engagement.

What the Employer Offers

• A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for 4 years (initially 18 months, extendable).
• Preferred starting date in late summer/early fall of 2025.
• Gross monthly salary between €3,059 and €3,881 (scale P), plus holiday allowance and year-end allowance.
