Opening for a Postdoc on quantum kinetics in nanostructures (either semiconductor based or molecular systems). The work shall be embedded in the "Nanometer Structure Consortium" and/or the Wallenberg center "Controlling
quantum coherence" in Lund, with plenty of opportunities to collaborate. The official announcement can be found  here and the application shall be done online until 1 March.(According to local rules, the doctorate must not be older than 3 years)

• Master thesis/examsarbete: Students are welcome to do their thesis in my group, where the course FYST25 / FFF051 is a good preparation. Possible topics are within ongoing research fields.
