Open PhD position in nanomagnetism

The Nanomagnetism Group at the CIC nanoGUNE Research Center in San Sebastian (Spain) is currently looking for a motivated

who is interested in working in an inspiring international and interdisciplinary environment in the following research areas:

• time resolved magneto-optic Kerr microscopy with sub-nanosecond time resolution for studying the magnetization dynamics (e.g., fast magnetic switching)
• laterally patterned magnetic nanostructures that are fabricated by means of electron beam lithography and thin film and multilayer deposition techniques.

The nanomagnetism group has recently been awarded a grant by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology (Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnologia MICINN), which will also make a Ph.D. student position available. The anticipated starting date is September 2010.

Candidates should have a background in physics, materials science or electrical engineering. Experience in one or more of the following fields would be preferred but is not a prerequisite: magnetic materials, magneto-optics and/or microscopy, RF techniques or time resolved measurement techniques, nanofabrication and lithography. Proficiency in spoken and written English is compulsory.

To be considered for this position, applicants will have to apply to the FPI (Researcher Formation Program, Formación de Personal de Investigación) call from the Ministry before February 22nd. Find the complete information about the FPI program The application form has to be filled online at https://www.micinn.es/becasfpi/. After completing the form, one copy of the pdf generated by the online application, and the applicant’s CV have to be sent to a.berger@nanogune.eu.
