Please find the link to the job listings on the official ETH Jobs website above. Please note that applications to these positions are exclusively accepted via the ETH job listing, applications for these positions via E-Mail cannot be considered.
Questions regarding the positions should be directed by email to Dr. Thomas Lottermoser () or Prof. Manfred Fiebig () (no applications). Selection will start immediately, so early submissions are strongly encouraged.
Our projects cover the following areas (check our research pages for a full overview)
• (Non-) linear optics
• Ultrafast dynamics
• THz spectroscopy
• Scanning probe microscopy
• Pulsed laser deposition
• Numerical simulations
We welcome applications for positions in our group at any time – even when there are no explicit job openings. We would ask you, however, to follow certain procedures in your application. Please follow these carefully because otherwise your application cannot be considered.
Guidelines for applying to internships or Bachelor/Master projects and theses
Bachelor/Master projects and theses for students from the ETH Domain (ETH, EPFL, Empa, PSI): As we offer a wide range of topics between optics and condensed-matter physics, experiment and theory, fundamentals and application, it is important to meet for discussing the topic that meets your strengths and preferences best. Please contact for this purpose and for your application.
If you are applying for an external internship, Bachelor or Master thesis, send your application or any enquiries to
because otherwise it cannot be considered. Please add an explicit confirmation that you are able and willing to take care of travel and living costs as there will not be financial support from our side.
