Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in Terahertz-Driven Magnetic Switching
The Department of Physics at Lancaster University invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate (or Senior Research Associate) to work in the field of ultrafast switching of magnetism. The post is funded by the Green Future Fellowship project: Terahertz magnetic recording for green data storage technology. The position offers access to state‑of‑the‑art ultrafast laser facilities and a challenging research project at the interface of photonics and magnetism. You will contribute to solving the existential challenge to humankind: excessive energy consumption by data‑intensive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and cloud computing. Successful candidates will hold a PhD in experimental physics in a field related to this project. Training in unique experimental techniques will be provided, but we expect you to have prior experience of one or more of the following areas:
* Ultrafast pump‑probe spectroscopy
* Terahertz photonics
* Magnetic and/or spintronic materials
* Optical measurements at cryogenic temperatures
* Near‑field microscopy and nanoscopy
The post is available immediately and is offered for 24 months at the first instance. The further extension of the post is possible subject to performance.
