Offre de thèse

Light and matter theory group at the Institute of Physics (FZU) of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Prague invites applications for the position:

PhD student in theoretical atomic-scale optics of nanostructures

The successful candidate (m/f/d) will join a recently established research team lead by Tomáš Neuman that investigates atomic-scale optical properties of molecules and low dimensional materials, particularly in the context of scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy.
What you will do:
• Investigate transport and optical properties of nanomaterials (2D materials, molecules…)
• Integrate results of ab-initio calculations into models addressing light-mater interaction in atomic-scale optical environments (light emission in scanning tunneling microscopy – STML, tip-enhanced photoluminescence – TEPL, and beyond)
• Develop models to address the dynamics of electron transport, excitons, and photons in atomic-scale optical environments (e.g., quantum master equation, Lindblad formalism)
• Participate in group meetings, preparation of manuscripts and dissemination of results at conferences
• Work in an international environment in the heart of Europe and collaborate with our international partners in Europe and beyond
