Open positions
We have an open position for a PhD student and a Postdoctoral researcher on optical sensing and control over strongly correlated electronic phases in gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructures. Interested candidates should contact tomasz.smolenski@unibas.ch, sending a CV, motivation letter, as well as contacts to at least two referees.
We are always looking for highly-motivated, passionate and self-driven students and researchers to join our group and conduct experimental research on the many-body electron, exciton and spin physics in low-dimensional quantum materials. Our lab will soon be equipped with state-of-the-art apparatus for performing low-temperature magneto-optical spectroscopy experiments, including both dry and wet dilution refrigerator units with direct optical access and a set of dry/wet cryostats. We will be located at the Department of Physics of the University of Basel, which provides an excellent environment for carrying out our research, including clean-room device fabrication facilities and mechanical/electronic workshops.
We are always interested in highly-motivated researchers to join us as a Postdoctoral researchers or PhD students!
Here you can check out the general flyeror contact directly Tomasz Smoleński for more information.
Postdoctoral researchers
If you are interested in becoming a postdoc in our group, please e-mail direcly Tomasz Smoleński with your CV (detailing your publication record and research interests) as well as at least two reference contacts. We are looking for oustanding condensed-matter physicists, particularly with experience in performing low-temperature experiments, (magneto-)optical spectroscopy (and fiber optics), exfoliation and fabrication of vdW heterostructures, clean-room processing, ultra-fast spectroscopy, and electronic transport measurements.
We are always happy to host applicants with their own funding or those who are willing to apply for postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships from the European Union or Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships from SNSF).
PhD students
Candidates with excellent educational track record in solid-state physics who are interested in pursuing a PhD studies with us should e-mail Tomasz Smoleński with their CV (detailing publication record and research interests), a list of master’s courses with corresponding grades as well as at least two reference contacts. Background in optical spectroscopy or fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures is particularly welcome.
Master/semester students
We are always open for motivated students to join our group for master or semester research projects. Interested candidates should e-mail Tomasz Smoleński for details.
