Offer Description
av anställning
The Department of Physics at the University of Gothenburg is located in the center of Gothenburg, with approximately 100 employees. The communication routes are good both nationally and internationally. The research focuses within the fields of Atom- and Molecular Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Spintronics, and Complex Systems and Biophysics and is performed in an international environment with extensive national and international collaborations. The education programs at the Department include Bachelor- and Master programs in Physics, physics teacher-training programs, as well as outreach courses in Physics aimed for the general public. Gothenburg Physics Centre is a close collaboration with three other departments within the Faculty of Science and Chalmers University of Technology, which creates an innovative environment for all researchers and students at the department.

Information about the research group:
The research will be carried out in the group at the University of Gothenburg led by Giovanni Volpe. The group focuses on soft matter, optical tweezers, statistical physics and machine learning.
Job assignments
We are looking for a PhD student at the Department of Physics at the University of Gothenburg. The applicant will work
Option 1 – with optical tweezers, optical manipulation, microfluidics.
Option 2 – at the development of DeepTrack 2.0 (https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0034891 and https://github.com/softmatterlab/DeepTrack-2.0 ) in close cooperation with the existing developers’ team at Soft Matter Lab.
Option 3 – with micro- and nanofabrication, metamaterials, and nanooptics
Qualifications
To apply, you should have a master’s degree, or equivalent, in physics or in related disciplines. We are looking for someone with experience (possibly) in optical tweezers, holographic optical tweezers, microfluidics, programming, machine learning, robotics, nanofabrication, metamaterial, nanooptics.
We are looking for a motivated person who can work individually but at the same time have a good ability to collaborate with other researchers in this multidisciplinary collaboration. You should have a good ability to express yourself in both written and spoken English.
Previous, documented experience with:
- programming, machine learning, robotics
- simulating optical devices and physical systems
- optical manipulation, holographic optical tweezers, intracavity optical tweezers
- microfluidics
- high performance code or deep learning
- nanofabrication in cleanroom, especially in electron beam lithography is an advantage.
Being a PhD is a 4-year full-time studies and leads to a Doctoral Degree. Those who are employed as doctoral students must primarily devote themselves to their doctoral education. However, a doctoral student may to a limited extent work with education, research and administration. Such work may, before the doctoral degree is completed, not cover more than 20 % of full-time work.
Eligibility
To be eligible for third-cycle studies, the applicant must meet both the general and specific entry requirements. A person meets the general entry requirements for third-cycle courses and study programs if he or she:
1. has been awarded a second-cycle qualification,
2. has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or
3. has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
To meet the specific entry requirements for third-cycle studies, applicants must: (i) have a second-cycle (advanced-level) degree in a relevant* subject area in the natural sciences, or (ii) have completed studies for at least 60 higher education credits at a second-cycle level in relevant subject areas in the natural sciences, or (iii) have completed a corresponding programme of relevance to the planned third-cycle programme, in Sweden or in another country, or have equivalent qualifications.
*Relevant for the planned third-cycle education
The specific entry requirements also include an acceptable command of spoken and written English. Guidelines for assessing English proficiency may include a minimum score of 550 on the TOEFL test (or 213 on the TOEFL-CBT, or 79 on the TOEFL-iBT).
Assessment
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for education on a doctoral level are given in SFS 1993:100.
Selection among applicants who meet the requirements for basic and special eligibility is based on the ability to assimilate the education at postgraduate level. In the assessment, special emphasis is placed on documented qualifications regarding:
You should have a good ability to express yourself in both written and spoken English.
You should be a motivated person who can work individually but at the same time have a good ability to collaborate with other researchers in this multidisciplinary collaboration.
In the assessment, special emphasis is placed on documented qualifications regarding
- programming, machine learning, robotics
- Knowledge of Python, Matlab, C/C++ or similar programming language
- optical manipulation, holographic optical tweezers, intracavity optical tweezers
- microfluidics
- nanofabrication in cleanroom, especially in electron beam lithography
Consolidated experience with standard Python ML libraries (e.g., Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch) software development tooling (git and docker) is preferable.
Employment
A new employment as a PhD student applies for a maximum of one year. The employment may be prolonged for up to two years at a time. The total employment period may not be longer than the equivalent of four years of full time doctoral studies.
Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 4 years full time
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Physics, Gothenburg
First day of employment: 1 May 2024, or as agreed
University applies a local salary agreement of graduate students.
Appointment procedure
Please apply online. The application shall include:
Cover letter with an explanation of why you apply for the position
CV including scientific publications
Copy of exam certificate
Two referees (name, telephone number, relation)
