Overview
Join ETH Zurich's Ultrafast Dynamics Group as a PhD student to advance experimental ultrafast optics and photonics. You will develop time-resolved experiments that probe time-varying electromagnetic media, combining pump-probe spectroscopy with terahertz techniques. You’ll contribute to building a new experimental platform and work closely with cross-group researchers to address core questions at the intersection of photonics and ultrafast science. This is a fully funded four-year opportunity to shape cutting-edge light-matter studies.
