CIC07: Master project on NONLINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC 2D VAN DER WAALS AND TOPOLOGICAL MATERIALS FOR NEXT-GENERATION QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES

The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center, CIC nanoGUNE, located in Donostia / San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain), is currently looking for a

Master Student

to work on

NONLINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC 2D VAN DER WAALS AND TOPOLOGICAL MATERIALS FOR NEXT-GENERATION QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES 

NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.

The aim of the research project is to explore charge and spin phototransport phenomena in two classes of materials: magnetic 2D van der Waals systems and 2D materials with topologically non-trivial phases, and to explore whether the coexistence of magnetic order and non-trivial topology in certain materials can lead to synergistic effects, such as enhanced photocurrent generation or novel spin-charge separation mechanisms. The student will be supervised by Daniel Hernangomez (d.hernangomez@nanogune.eu).

The position is offered in the Theory Group, led by Emilio Artacho (e.artacho@nanogune.eu). More information can be found at https://www.nanogune.eu/en/research.

The position is expected to start in 01/09/2025 and for a total length of up to 10 months (01/09/2025 - 30/06/2026).

Candidates should apply by completing the form below and attaching the following documents:

a. A complete CV
b. Academic Record and Cover Letter grouped in a single PDF file

The deadline for applications is 22/06/2025.
