PhD in Nanoscience

Starting April 2026 (or as agreed)/nThe newly-established “Quantum Opto-Electronics” research group of Prof. Tomasz Smoleński at the Department of Physics, University of Basel, Switzerland (https://smolenski-lab.com), is looking for a highly-motivated and self-driven PhD candidate./nThe group utilizes low-temperature magneto-optical and quantum-optical spectroscopy to investigate strongly correlated electronic, excitonic, and spin phenomena in newly-engineered, tunable, low-dimensional quantum materials based on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures./nThe advertised position is within the frame of an OptoQuantTOP ERC Starting Grant project, which aims at controlling strongly correlated topological phases of matter with light./nLocation: Basel, Switzerland.
