Pre-Doctoral Researcher on 2D Materials, perovskites and their heterostructures for optoelectronic nanodevices

 

 


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


PRE-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER


to work on


2D Materials, perovskites and their heterostructures for optoelectronic nanodevices


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 position is offered in the Nanodevices Group, led by Prof. Luis Hueso and Prof. Felix Casanova (l.hueso@nanogune.eu / f.casanova@nanogune.eu). The group counts with extensive research facilities for fabrication and characterization of devices and several active research lines spanning from nanofabrication to 2D electronics and spin transport.

 

The candidate will join a research line focusing on the investigation of 2D layered materials and low dimensional metal halide perovskites through a combination of electrical and optical characterizations.

The research will include Raman spectroscopy and device fabrication/characterization, which will be employed to reveal a wide variety of physical and chemical phenomena occurring when low dimensional materials are modulated using electrostatic gating and molecular functionalization. A special focus will be given to phase transitions, magnetic ordering and hetero-interface charge transfer. The final goal is to modulate the 2D materials properties in single flakes and heterostructures, looking for the integration of working systems into functional spintronic and opto-electronic nanodevices. 


The successful candidate will have a master’s degree in Physics or in a similar field and meet the following requirements:

  • Proficiency in spoken and written English 
  • Self-motivated and a team player willing to coordinate the research in a particular topic. 

 

Although not compulsory, the following points will be considered:

  • Previous knowledge in spintronics.
  • Nanofabrication (e-beam lithography, materials growth and characterization, etching)
  • Electrical transport measurements



We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all kinds of applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

 

The position is expected to start in 01/09/2021 and for a total length of up to 36 months (01/09/2021 - 31/08/2024) in the Nanodevices Group. The contract will be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).


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

  1. A complete CV  

 


The deadline for applications is 28/06/2021.
