We study these components using magnetic, electrical, and optical methods (specifically microfocused BLS), and model them with GPU-accelerated micromagnetic simulations. Johan \u00c5kerman's research group is driving a major project, funded by VR's Research Professorship, where new spintronic components are being developed. In order to advance the BLS division, the department is now seeking a Researcher to help drive this part of the project forward.\nMain Responsibilities\nThe main responsibilities are the development and application of Brillouin light scattering (BLS) microscopy for advanced materials characterization. The position requires substantial expertise in optical systems and precision measurements. It also requires experience with CW and femtosecond lasers, including design and construction of optical setups as well as alignment of these. Knowledge of pump-probe spectroscopy is a merit. You will be responsible for the development and maintenance of BLS microscopy systems, including femtosecond comb-driven experimental setups. You will also perform BLS measurements on spintronic nanocomponents and a variety of other material systems, and analyze the results. The position involves a central role in research on cutting-edge optical microscopy techniques for materials and component characterization. You will work together with doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers, and advance the research by contributing to both the design and analysis of experiments. You are expected to write scientific articles based on your results and also contribute to others' scientific articles. You are also expected to present your results at scientific conferences.\nQualifications\nTo be eligible for employment as a researcher, you must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is assessed as equivalent to a doctoral degree.\nAssessment Criteria\nWe are looking for someone who has demonstrated significant scientific expertise in the fields of optical systems, optical spectroscopy, and optical microscopy methods. It is a merit to have expertise in Brillouin light scattering (BLS) or Raman microscopy, femtosecond frequency combs, and excitation and detection of acoustic waves and spin waves. Scientific expertise is assessed mainly based on peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals and presentations at international conferences.\nEmployment\nType of employment: Fixed-term employment for 6 months\nScope: 100%\nLocation: Department of Physics, Gothenburg\nStart date: October 5, 2026\nApplication Process\nRegister your application electronically.\nYour application should include:\nA personal letter explaining why you are applying for the position.\nCV including scientific publications.\nCopy of your degree certificate.\nTwo personal references (name, phone number, relationship).\n\nContact Information for the Position\nIf you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact Johan \u00c5kerman, Professor, johan.akerman@physics.gu.se.\nLabor Organizations\nLabor representatives at University of Gothenburg can be found here: https:\/\/www.gu.se\/jobba-hos-oss\/sa-blir-du-en-av-oss#kollektivavtal-och-fackliga-foretradare\nApplication\nYou apply for the position via University of Gothenburg's recruitment portal by clicking the \"Apply\" button. As an applicant, you are responsible for ensuring that your application is complete in accordance with the job posting and that it reaches the university no later than the final application deadline.\nWe would appreciate it if your application is written in English as it may be reviewed by international experts with English as their working language.\nApplication deadline: 2026-09-10\nThe University actively works for a work environment with equal conditions and values the qualities that diversity brings to the organization. The University applies individual salary setting. In accordance with the National Archives' regulations, the University is obligated to keep application documents for two years after the employment decision.
