The ARPES group of Felix Baumberger and Anna Tamai invites applications for a postdoc position in experimental quantum matter physics.
The successful candidate is expected to perform state-of-the-art ARPES experiments with the goal of revealing new aspects of the many-body physics of correlated electron systems. Current interests of the group include Hund metals, correlated van der Waals materials, lightly doped Mott insulators, and strain-tuning of cuprates with the approach pioneered in arXiv.2503.11311. We also encourage candidates to propose their own research projects on correlated electron systems. ARPES measurements will be performed with our unique in-house laser micro-ARPES instrument and at different synchrotron beamlines abroad. Examples of our recent work can be found on the group website and in the publications of the group.
Applicants should hold a PhD in quantum matter and have a strong background in correlated electron physics. Experience in relevant experimental techniques such as laser-physics, ARPES or FIB milling is desirable but not necessary. We encourage applicants who are self-motivated and eager to push the boundaries of the field. Strong communication skills in English (spoken and written) are required.
We offer the opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art laboratory on a research project at the forefront of a very active field. The successful candidate will be embedded in a creative and stimulating environment and will have excellent opportunities to launch their own career in research.
To apply, please submit a cover letter and a CV including contact details of at least two referees, all in a single pdf file by email to felix.baumberger@unige.ch. If available, please provide a link to the manuscript of your PhD thesis.
For further information, please contact Prof. Felix Baumberger or Dr. Anna Tamai.
Applications are still possible after the deadline until the position is filled, but shortlisting will already have started.
Application until 27.03.2026
