Your responsibilities
The Ultrafast Spectroscopy Group at ISTA is currently seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our groundbreaking project aimed at revolutionizing the temporal resolution of quantum sensing using nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. While NV-based quantum sensors have demonstrated exceptional sensitivity to external electromagnetic fields and nanometer-scale spatial resolution, their temporal resolution is currently limited to the nanosecond regime, prohibiting the exploration of ultrafast phenomena. Our goal is to overcome this limitation by developing protocols to manipulate NV centers on ultrafast timescales – down to femtoseconds (10⁻¹⁵ s) – thus improving temporal resolution by over five orders of magnitude. This will involve combining femtosecond laser technology with microwave-based spin manipulation to induce ultrafast transformations in matter and encode transient current density redistributions into the phase of NV spin qubits using a “quantum lock-in” technique. This breakthrough will enable the quantum-sensing-based investigation of fundamental processes such as collective excitations in solids, light-driven phase transitions, and chemical transformations, opening new frontiers across condensed matter physics, chemistry, and quantum information science.

Your Profile

Ph D in physics, physical chemistry, or related discipline
Strong experimental background in quantum magnetometry based on spin defects in solids or related field
Motivation to perform challenging high-risk research with potentially big impact
Ability to work independently
Willingness to learn new techniques
Ability to develop a vision for the future development of the project

Application documents: Cover letter, CV, publication list, names of 2 – 3 references
