PhD Position: Atomic-scale Charge and Magnetic Order in Novel 2D Materials 1012 views

The Faculty of Science at Radboud University is inviting applications for a PhD position. The goal of this PhD project is to investigate atomic-scale magnetic and charge order in different quantum phases of novel 2D materials.

About the position:

• The selected candidate will investigate the atomic-scale geometric structure together with local charge and magnetic order in novel 2D magnetic materials.
• The selected candidate will use the worldwide unique combination of SP-STM and magnetic exchange force microscopy (called SPEX) that our department has recently developed.
• The selected candidate will work within cutting-edge UHV-based cryogenic SPM facilities and join a young and innovative team of experienced researchers and technicians.
• The contract term is four years.

Requirements:

• Applicant must hold Master’s degree in Physics, as well as a properly written thesis on an experimental topic. Priority will be given to applicants with SPM, cryogenic, and/or UHV experience.
• Applicant must have high proficiency in spoken and written English.
• Applicants are expected to carry out experiments, both independently and in a team and expected to learn to communicate your results by writing manuscripts and giving presentations at international conferences.

Applications:

Apply online and application should include the following attachments (all in PDF format):

• Motivation letter stating why he/she would like to join the team (One-page)
• CV
• Minimum of two academic references.
• Certificates, e.g. Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree.
