Postdoc position: Physics, Electrical Engg, Materials Science 1226 views

The Laboratory for Mesocopic Systems at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a joint laboratory between the ETH Zurich and the PSI. applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher (ETHZ-PSI) in Unconventional computing based on arrays of nanomagnets.

Tasks and responsibilities:

• The successful candidate has a background in magnetic thin films, nanostructures and devices.
• The successful candidate will be responsible for developing unconventional computing based on the behaviour of arrays of nanomagnets.
• This will include control of the nanomagnet interactions, observation of the emergent behaviour, and interfacing to electronics.
• Characterisation will mainly be carried out using lab-based characterisation methods (nanoMOKE, transport, SQUID-VSM), but there is also a possibility to use synchrotron x-ray microscopy at the Swiss Light Source.

Requirements:

• Candidate must have outstanding qualifications with a PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or a related subject, and preferably has experience with unconventional computation using nanomagnets.
• Candidate should be very motivated, proactive and creative in order to be successful, and should have good team and communication skills.
