Job description

Offer DescriptionCOMPETITION OPENING DATE DECEMBER 24,2024The research work will be carried out in the Department of Solid State Physics at the Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, under the NCN OPUS 26 Project No. GR 7248 entitled: “Tunable Photonic Structures Emulating Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Systems” DEC-2023/51/B/ST3/03025. The program will be carried out in cooperation with the Military University of Technology. The project focuses on the application of light in birefringent optical cavities to simulate quantum problems in solid-state physics at room temperature.The key objectives of this project are: * Quasiparticle Design: Developing light-based quasiparticles within photonic crystals that emulate the behavior of matter quasiparticles in solid-state systems. This includes investigating self-organization processes in soft matter.

• Theoretical Framework Development: Creating effective Hamiltonians to describe light propagation in periodic structures. These Hamiltonians will mimic massive particles with spin, simplifying optical modeling and accelerating numerical computations.
• Frontier Exploration in Quantum Optics: Investigating the intersection of quantum optics and effective Hamiltonians, particularly focusing on single-photon spin-orbit coupling in structured optical cavities.

The research will utilize low-dimensional photonic structures in microcavities filled with structured liquid crystals, enabling precise fabrication and control of photonic spin-orbit coupling (SOC).The successful candidate will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary team working at the forefront of photonic simulations. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts in the field, access state-of-the-art facilities, and contribute to significant advancements in quantum photonics.The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20.07.2018 (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2024, item 1571 with further amendments).Where to apply E-mailjacek.szczytko@fuw.edu.plRequirementsResearch Field Physics » Condensed matter properties Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Optics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/Qualifications1.

– the pdf-format with a scanned signature. * Statement on reading and accepting the rules for job applications for a position of an academic teacher at the University of Warsaw (available on the website
) – the pdf-format with a scanned signature. * CV containing, among others, all relevant academic information

• List of publications and conference presentations
• Copy of higher education transcript.
• Copy of PhD diploma
• If possible: recommendation letter from past employers / supervisors.
• If possible: contact details of previous employers / supervisors.

Upon successful application the candidate will have to provide originals of the above listed documents.The candidate must meet the conditions set by the National Science Center for people employed in a post-doc position. In particular, the person employed for this position must have a doctoral degree obtained no earlier than 7 years before the year of employment in the project. This period does not include breaks related to maternity leave, additional maternity leave, leave on the conditions of maternity leave, additional leave on the conditions of maternity leave, paternity leave, or parental leave granted on the terms specified in the provisions of the Labor Code or the receipt of sickness allowance or rehabilitation benefits in connection with incapacity for work, including those caused by diseases requiring medical rehabilitation. For women, the indicated 7-year period may be extended by 18 months for each child born or adopted. A woman can choose a more favourable way to indicate breaks in her scientific career.

The employment will take place in accordance with the NCN regulations, in particular the employed person must meet the following conditions jointly:

• the principal investigator was not a supervisor or assistant supervisor of her doctoral dissertation;
• their PhD degree has been awarded by another institution than the one planned to employ them at this post or they have completed a continuous and evidenced post-doctoral fellowship of at least 10 months in another institution than the host institution for the project and in another country than the one in which they have been conferred a PhD degree;
• at the time of receiving remuneration, they will not be receiving any other remuneration paid from the funds granted to research projects under NCN calls under the heading of direct costs;
• in the period of receiving the remuneration they will be receiving no remuneration from another employer pursuant to an employment contract, including an employer with registered office outside of Poland;
• during the period of receiving this remuneration, he will not receive retirement benefits from the social security system;
• will be employed for at least 6 months.
