Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM)
Job description
The PhD student will use and further develop x-ray dynamical light scattering in synchrotron based experiments, in close collaboration with groups in Cologne and Hamburg. This work will be backed up with an in-house light scattering programme.
The novel technique of resonant coherent x-ray scattering will be used to investigate the structure and dynamical properties of the electronic liquid crystal order in prototypical high Tc superconductors.
Requirements
- Background in Physics or Chemical Physics.
- Self propelled, flexible and able to cooperate in an international team.
- Sufficient drive to come to a first paper within a year.
Conditions of employment
When fulfilling a PhD position at the FOM foundation, you will get the status of junior scientist.
You will have an employee status and can participate in all the employee benefits FOM offers. You will get a contract for 4 years. Your salary will be up to a maximum of 2,610 euro gross per month.
You are supposed to have a thesis finished at the end of your four year term with FOM.
A training programme is part of the agreement. You and your supervisor will make up a plan for the additional education and supervising that you specifically need. This plan also defines which teaching activities you will be responsible (up to a maximum of 10% of your time). The conditions of employment of the FOM-foundation are laid down in the Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres (CAO-Onderzoekinstellingen), more exclusive information is available at this website under Personeelsinformatie (in Dutch) or under Personnel (in English).

Organisation
Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter
The student will be member of the Quantum Matter Group of the van der Waals Zeeman Institute of the University of Amsterdam, see http://www.science.uva.nl/research/cmp/qem, which is pusuing an intense research programme on high temperature superconductors, including the new pnictide family. The group has excellent facilities for crystal growth, angle resolved photoemission and low temperature STM. The department will move to a new laboratory building in summer 2010.
