Research Assistant position in Electron, exciton and orbital dynamics in low-dimensional magnetic materials, TU, Berlin, Germany (Deadline: 27.02.2026)

As part of the research project, we offer the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in experimental condensed matter physics focused on electron, spin, exciton, and orbital dynamics in two-dimensional magnetic materials and their heterostructures. Two-dimensional magnets and magnetic heterostructures are promising building blocks for future spintronic and optoelectronic technologies. Understanding their microscopic electronic and magnetic dynamics is a key challenge in modern materials research.

The project will be carried out in the team of Dr. Tommaso Pincelli within the “Ultrafast Nanoscience” group of Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer. This highly diverse and international team employs state-of-the-art ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy to study a wide range of ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter systems.

This position is embedded in the collaborative research center “CRC/TRR227 – Ultrafast Spin Dynamics”, which provides an exceptional research and training environment for PhD candidates. You will meet and befriend peers across leading research groups in the field, building scientific expertise and professional networks that support your long-term academic and career development.
