Switzerland : Postdoc or Scientist Tuneable Diode Laser Spectroscopy for Industrial Applications

Empa is the interdisciplinary research and services institution for material sciences and technology development within the ETH-Domain. The Laboratory for Air Pollution and Environmental Technology has an opening for a research fellow for industrial developments based on diode laser spectroscopy.

Postdoc or Scientist
Tuneable Diode Laser Spectroscopy for Industrial Applications


Together with our team at Empa, the ETH spin-off Phocone and a Swiss SME you will develop an optical setup for high-speed detection of organic vapours. Your work will leverage on recently developed VECSELs based on IV-VI narrow-gap semiconductors and on the long experience in mechanics, electronics and optics of the involved partners. This is a 1-year position with options to be extended.

As a successful candidate you have the ability to rapidly design and evaluate optical concepts, test these in a laboratory setup and provide the knowledge to implement your ideas in a harsh industrial environment.

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist, preferably with a PhD in physics or a related discipline, and a thorough background in optics, electronics and laser spectroscopy, as well as a strong interest in instrumental development.

For further information contact Dr. Lukas Emmenegger, phone +41 58 765 46 99, email: lukas.emmenegger@empa.ch

We are looking forward to your application including a CV, a list of publications, a letter of motivation and addresses of two referees. Application received before June 25, 2011 will receive full consideration.
