A PhD position in Optical Physics and nanomanufacturing: Magnon Polaritons, metamaterials and the control of spins is available at the Department of Physics. The appointment has a duration of three years with the eventual possibility of until 1-year extension with 25% teaching duties in agreement with the Department.

The position is organized in the Department of Physics. Currently, there are 27 professors, 10 associate professors, 7 adjunct professors, 70 PhD research fellows and 24 postdoctoral researchers appointed at the Department of Physics.

The Department’s research spans a broad spectrum of natural sciences and technology, which in turn allows us to offer an education that provides a solid basis for future careers. Physics research is carried out in experimental as well as theoretical fields, often across conventional boundaries between disciplines trough external collaborations. The Department’s central research areas are nanoscience, materials science, biophysics, surface physics, modern optics, astrophysics, solar energy, soft matter physics, and medical technology. Research staff at the Department makes a special effort to increase the awareness and understanding of the importance and impact of physics in society.

Morten Kildemo om oppgaven:

Oppgaven er i grenselandet mellom optikk og elektromagnetisme, der en i utgangspunktet skal studere materialer som gir mulighet til å øke lokalt den magnetiske feltstyrken (gjennom å lage dielektriske resonatorer), og ved lavere frekvenser (Thz) også skal studere reelle materialer og prøve å lage kunstige materialer med effektiv negativ permeabilitet for å skape resonanser for mellom annet kopling til overflatebølger. Oppgaven er likevel relativt åpen i innhold.
