Postdoc position: 2-D Quantum Materials 782 views

The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) is offering a postdoctoral position to highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment. The position is available in 2-D Quantum Materials.

About the position:

• The successful candidate will be carrying out a collaborative project in the Low Dimensional Quantum Materials Group (LDQM – Prof. Dmitri Efetov) in the framework of the recently awarded EU Quantum Technologies Flagship.
• The aim of this position is to engineer strong quantum effects in novel 2D materials and their hetero-structures and use these for quantum sensing applications.
• This also involves the study of superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene, in which our group holds a leading position in Europe.
• The candidate will play a key role in the whole research effort of the group and will closely collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups in this field.

Requirements:

• Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized PhD equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in Physics, Material Science, Electrical Engineering or closely related disciplines.
• Strong experience in fabrication of 2D materials and hetero-structures thereof.
• Experience in the fields of superconductivity, low temperature transport, opto-electronics, RF circuits can be an advantage.
• Experience in single photon detection is a strong plus.

Duration: The contract is offered for periods of one year, renewable for a total of up to 5 years.

Applications:

Apply online and include the following:

• Presentation letter with a declaration of interest,
• Curriculum Vitae, including contact details,
