In addition to the scholarship provided by the government, graduate students are accepted for a position not lower than 0.5 of the research engineer. Additional allowances are based on the supervisor's subjective perception of the effectiveness of the postgraduate student's work.

Special requirements for a postgraduate student

A highly desirable requirement is a good understanding of geometric and physical optics, nonlinear optics, and electrodynamics. Preferred skills: hands-on experience, in particular assembling optical stands; experience with literary sources and bases of scientific articles; knowledge of scientific software: Originlab, one of the mathematical packages (Mathlab, Mathcad/Maple, etc.), being familiar with the Python programming language; the desire to know the world and be open to the perception of new information.

You need to understand that it is in graduate school that a person develops qualitatively as an expert in any field, which is ultimately confirmed by the defense of a dissertation. This successfully happens, first of all, due to the ability for independent learning and analysis of new specialized information, then, due to hard work with implementation of knowledge and skills.

Motivation for graduate student (on the style of interaction with a supervisor):

The ability to work both independently (with literature, methods, instruments) and in a team is expected. The supervisor is ready to help, but not to do the research for the graduate student. The initiative and diligence of the graduate student is highly desirable.
