The THz spectroscopy group at the National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics (NICPB, Tallinn, Estonia) specializes in low energy electrodynamics in solids with strong electron correlations. The experimental techniques include optical spectroscopies at ultra-low frequencies. The areas of interest center on out-of-the-ordinary electronic states of matter at low temperatures, including unconventional superconductors, quantum magnets, topological insulators, materials in proximity to quantum critical points, to name a few.
Currently we are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on the project:
How do chiral superconductors break time-reversal symmetry?
The research will be focused on sub-THz spectroscopic studies of unconventional superconductors which possess non-trivial topological properties: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/885413 Considerable flexibility beyond the focus of this project can be built into research program of a postdoctoral applicant.
The ideal applicants should have experience in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems as well as related THz spectroscopic tools, but strong applicants with other backgrounds would be considered as well.
Applicants should e-mail a CV with publication list, a very brief statement of research interests, and the names of three references to superconductors@kbfi.ee
