Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN THE SPECTROSC ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Materials Physics Center (Donostia-San Sebastián)
We offer a postdoctoral position (1+1 years) starting in May 2023 to work with Prof. Lucia Vitali on characterizing 2D van der Waals materials within the Spectroscopy at the Atomic Scale Group at CFM. The post-doctoral project aims to design, fabricate, characterize, and manipulate 2D moiré systems. The spontaneous structural and electronic modulation observed in these systems constitutes a platform for developing nano and optoelectronic devices, which are facilitated by the easy growth of highly ordered crystals on most supporting substrates. Using cutting-edge scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, we aim to correlate atomic-resolved structures with their electronic properties. An atomic-sharp moveable electrostatic gate is one of the means by which we aim to manipulate the electronic structure. The project will be developed in collaboration with Dr. Dario Bercioux at DIPC, Prof. Daniele Passerone at EMPA/ETH, and Prof. Talat Rahman at the University Central Florida, who will provide theoretical support to the experimental results.
The positions will be funded by MCIN and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR- C17.I1, as well as by IKUR Strategy under the collaboration agreement between Ikerbasque Foundation and DIPC on behalf of the Department of Education of the Basque Government.
The selected candidate will be hired by the Materials Physics Center. The salary will be 35.650,44 euros (postdoc) during the first year before taxes.
The Spectroscopy at the atomic scale Group at the Center of Materials Physics devotes investigation efforts and passion to characterizing surface phenomena at atomic and sub-molecular scales. Current research topics in the group include two-dimensional van der Waals materials beyond graphene. For more information, visit our web: https://cfm.ehu.es/atomic-spectroscopy/
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Physics or Physical Chemistry, preferably in condensed matter. Expertise in Scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum and at cryogenic temperatures will be highly appreciated for this particular position, as well as a background in Surface Science experimental techniques.
Suitable candidates can apply for this position by sending an email to [email protected] with the following information before the 15th of April with the subject label “Postdoc CFM- Spectroscopy at the atomic scale”:
1- An updated Curriculum Vitae, including a list of publications. (50 %)
2- A presentation letter with a declaration of interest (max. 1 page). (20 %)
3- Two reference letters and/or contact email of two potential referees. (10 %)
4 – Interview (only candidates that reached minimal punctuation of 50) (20 %)
General inquiries or questions about this position should be submitted by email to: [email protected] with the subject label “Postdoc CFM- Spectroscopy at the atomic scale”.
