Work Activities
In this project you will work on expanding our terahertz (THz) time domain microspectroscopy and imaging capabilities, and on applying THz (emission) microscopy to study 2D materials and 2D heterostructures. The microscope will use femtosecond lasers to generate and detect terahertz pulses using non-linear optical techniques. You will then apply the THz microscope to measure the properties of 2D materials and 2D heterostructures on micrometer length scales.

The proposed work is part of the Teratom project, led by the Technical University Eindhoven, and financed by National Growth Fund NXTGEN Hightech programme: Future-proof high-tech equipment.

Qualifications
A PhD degree in physics, physical chemistry, or a closely related subject is required for this project. You have to enjoy working with optics and ultrafast lasers and have some affinity with electronics. If you have experience with one or more of the following topics: femtosecond lasers - terahertz time-domain generation and detection - nonlinear optics, this is considered a strong advantage. Very good verbal and written communications skills (in English) are required.

Work environment
The Light/Matter Interaction group focuses on developing the science and technology of new optical and optical/acoustic hybrid metrology modalities for nanolithography applications. Projects include ultra-high frequency photoacoustics for metrology, THz emission spectroscopy, understanding laser damage in semiconductor-industry-relevant materials, and, in this project, THz imaging science and technology for measuring micrometer- and nanometer-scale properties of semiconductors and 2D materials and 2D heterostructures.

The group houses state-of-the-art lab facilities, such as various femtosecond laser systems, at the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL). The Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL) focuses on the fundamental physics and chemistry involved in current and future key technologies in nanolithography, primarily for the semiconductor industry. ARCNL is a public-private partnership between the Dutch Research Council (NWO), the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the VU University Amsterdam (VU) and the semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML. ARCNL is located at the Science Park Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and is currently housing about 100 scientists and support staff. We offer a dynamic and open environment, and aim to provide the optimum conditions for young scientists to do exciting research leading to high-impact results, which focus on fundamental physics and chemistry challenges, and might also have direct technological relevance.

ARCNL performs fundamental research, focusing on the physics and chemistry involved in current and future key technologies in nanolithography, primarily for the semiconductor industry. While the academic setting and research style are geared towards establishing scientific excellence, the topics in ARCNL’s research program are intimately connected with the interests of the industrial partner ASML. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 100 persons of which 65 are ambitious (young) researchers from all over the globe. www.arcnl.nl

Working conditions
The position is intended as full-time (40 hours / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of 2.5 years, with a salary in scale 10 (CAO-OI) and a range of employment benefits. ARCNL assists any new foreign Postdoc with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses. A favorable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants.
