4-year FPI PhD position on molecular optomechanics
We are currently looking for motivated and talented candidates for PhD studentships to explore novel interactions between light and molecules in nanoenvironments. This PhD project intends to explore new theoretical fundamental aspects of the quantum optical interaction between organic molecules and nanostructures to research and develop quantum molecular optomechanics at THz frequencies. ​The position will be hold at the prestigious research center IFIMAC at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. This environment offers one of the best international expertise in molecular nanophotonics, together with further world-recognized international theoretical & experimental collaborations that will be pursued along the project. The offered salary is regulated by the FPI Spanish national program (monthly approx. 1430€ on 1st year, 1537€ 2nd year, 1900 3rd and 4th years) and will be covered by the project Generacion de Conocimiento 2024, DQUOTE. 
The interested applicants, please send your CV with a motivation letter and two contacts for requesting recommendation letters. The expected acceptance has to be earlier than May 2026 due to project constraints. For sending the application or further questions, please contact Antonio Fernández-Domínguez ([email protected]) and Diego Martín Cano ([email protected]).
