Offer Description

Theoretical group at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics seeks a postdoctoral researcher who will work in the research field of terahertz optics. We look for a motivated and skilled colleague who will be responsible for computer simulations of quantum systems in electromagnetic field.

Description of position:

The applicant will participate in a theoretical research in the field of terahertz spectroscopy of nanostructures. The position is financed from the Czech Science Foundation grant “Electron tunneling in coupled semiconductor nanostructures triggered by plasmon resonance at terahertz frequencies”. The scope of the position will be to systematically perform numerical simulations of the interaction of nanostructures with electromagnetic field, data analysis and preparation of publications. We offer work in a small theoretical group and opportunity to realize own ideas. The contract can be extended upon mutual agreement.
