The Technology Science Group of SRON and the THz sensing group of the Delft University of technology have a vacancy for a PhD student fm Vacancy number 1207 This position is funded by the ERC consolidator Grant 648135 awarded to Dr. Jochem Baselmans. The primary goal of the work is to design a revolutionary electronically steerable beam antenna operating between 300 GHz and 1 THz that is based upon superconducting nanoelectronics suitable for astronomical applications. The project will be theoretical in character as it involves the design and simulation of the final antenna design as well as the design of the quasioptical system for proper operation at the ASTE telescope in Chile. Intermediate design studies will be also required for development of experiments that prove the correct operation of all the subsystems. The position will be located in the THz Sensing Group at the Delft University of Technology and is supervised by Dr. Jochem Baselmans from SRON and Dr. Nuia Llombart from the Delft University. You will work in close collaboration with another Ph.D. student in the same group who will be end responsible for the experiments. It is envisioned that at the end of the project you will be involved in the integration of the antenna with an onchip spectrometer and participate in the testing of the full instrument in the telescope. The work is part of the ERC project MOSAIC, which intends to develop a fully novel type of integral field spectrograph for submm astronomy from the ground and in space. The antenna is a key technological development of this project. Employment conditions Employment of this fulltime position is by NWO The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and will be for a period of up to 4 years. The salary will be in accordance with the salary scales of NWO, starting at 2.121, in the first year and rising to 2.718, in the fourth year of employment. NWO has good secondary employment conditions such as An end of year bonus of 8,33 of the gross yearly salary 42 days of vacation leave a year on fulltime basis An excellent pension scheme Options for additional personal development Excellent facilities for parental leave A holiday allowance of 8 of the gross yearly salary. Further information Dr. Jochem Baselmans, SRON and Delft University, tel.no. 31 0 88 777 5880 or J.Baselmanssron.nl. Letter of application Applicants should send a CV including a statement on their motivation to apply for this project and the names and email addresses of maximally two references as well as a short maximally 1 A4 outline of their knowledge and experience to jobssron.nl stating vacancy number 1207 in the email subject.
