🎓 PHD IN QUANTUM OPTOMECHANICS AND GAS SENSING

📆 Deadline 1 August 2026

🏫 Aarhus University invites applications for a PHD POSITION in QUANTUM OPTOMECHANICS AND GAS SENSING at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University.

🔎 The project aims to realize, investigate, and apply ULTRASENSITIVE OPTOMECHANICAL INSTRUMENTS for GAS SENSING and QUANTUM OPTOMECHANICS. It builds on recent progress in the design, fabrication, and application of NANOSTRUCTURED SILICON NITRIDE THIN FILMS.

📋 RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
✦ Nanofabrication in the local iNANO cleanroom
✦ Optical techniques such as interferometry
✦ Simulation of optical and mechanical properties using finite element methods
✦ Nanodrum microcavities and nano-guitars for sensing and radiation-pressure studies

🗂 The position is ideal for candidates with a background in PHYSICS, NANOSCIENCE, or ENGINEERING. Experience with OPTICS, PHOTONICS, or NANOFABRICATION is a plus.
