Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
The Division of Synchrotron Radiation Physics (www.sljus.lu.se) is a part of the Department of Physics and has more than 50 employees. The focus of the research is experimental studies of electronic, structural and chemical properties of materials, accelerators for Synchrotron radiation and instruments and methods for Synchrotron radiation. At the Division we use and develop a wide range of Synchrotron- and lab-based techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy/imaging and X-ray diffraction/imaging. We also host one of Sweden's largest facilities for scanning probe microscopy. We are additionally engaged in the development of the MAX IV Laboratory in the fields of beamlines, experimental stations, techniques for Synchrotron radiation and the accelerator systems.
Subject description
We have groups with a combination of unique methods that provide special opportunities to both design novel nanocomponents down to the atomic scale for computation and for answering important fundamental questions on the limits of electronics at the ultrafast timescale. Combining nanoplasmonic and III-V Nanowire heterostructures with varying bandgap, shape and crystal structure we can make circuits that respond locally to the optical signal or concentrates it on the nanoscale. Additionally, we can combine this with models based on biological studies. We have a number of very different highly advanced ultrafast laser systems with laser technology allowing us to precisely shape light pulses in time, energy, polarization and phase. Finally, we have excellent nanoscale characterization and electronic readout in the form of PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) and Spectroscopy, STM/AFM and device electrical measurements.
Work duties
The successful candidate is supposed to perform research within the subject area.
More specifically, the work duties include:
This work will be embedded in the NanoLund (www.nano.lu.se) Center for Nanoscience. The successful candidate will interact with experts in manufacturing of semiconductor nanoscale structures and devices to design relevant structures. The work will be performed in collaboration with several other researchers at the institute as well as a number of Ph.D. students and master students.
