Offer Description
Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years (eg. 2016 or later). The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF.

This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The faculty and team: The Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University is a leading research and education institution in physics, activities covering quantum technologies, high-energy physics, and mathematical physics. It is also the only institution in the region offering a full master’s and PhD programs in Quantum Technologies. The research group, led by prof. Ivan Richter, is an active and ambitious team with international connections both in theory and experiments, in the study of classical and quantum nanophotonics and plasmonics and their applications.
The subject of the project: The proposed research will deal with the study of classical and quantum effects in nanophotonics and plasmonics nanostructures. Specifically, the interest will be in the detailed analysis, using a combination of approximate and numerical approaches, leading towards understanding of both classical and quantum effects in nanoplasmonics, in terms of material composition as well as exploitation of the quantum effects on the actual surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs). The potential utilization of both linear and nonlinear effects in future applications will be examined, too, involving e.g. the fields of advanced sensing, surface supported waves, resonant effects, information processing and quantum technologies.
Tasks of the candidate: The particular direction of the research would be oriented, according to initial studies and current state of the art, on the fundamental properties of the both classical and quantum interaction between light and SPP at the nanoscale. The implemented simulation tools would appropriately combine, in a complementary manner, the quantum material approaches (quantum hydrodynamic model, TDDFT method) with the conventional models of electrodynamics (FD(E)TD, FMM, BEM, and others).

Skills/Qualifications
The fellowship aims primarily at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years (eg. 2016 or later). The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of two or more publications in a journal with IF. The mentor has a strong vote in the selection process. The ideal candidate is expected to have a strong background in photonics, quantum physics, and electromagnetic simulations, with expertise either in plasmonics or metamaterials. Experience in theory of classical and / or quantum nanophotonics, plasmonics, electromagnetic and quantum simulation techniques, in scientific programming, the ability to adapt these techniques to new structural, interaction, and device concepts, together with some experimental experience in preparation, characterization, and testing will be an advantage.
