Research Associate in Fabrication & Investigation of Van Der Waals Heterostructures

This is an opportunity for talented researchers in experimental condensed matter physics to create and study physical properties of two-dimensional materials, their heterostructures, and devices based on such materials. We seek an experimentalist with an active interest and excellent track record of publications in physics of low-dimensional materials.

The post is available immediately for up to 24 months. It is based at the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the National Graphene Institute (NGI), a world-class science and technology centre with a broad scope of research in two-dimensional materials.

The post will focus on a number of projects investigating the fundamental properties and technological applications of 2D materials and their van der Waals assemblies.

You will hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD (or equivalent) in condensed matter physics. You will have experience in clean-room techniques including electron-beam lithography and should also be well-organised and self-motivated with excellent communication skills. A strong publication record in internationally peer reviewed journals is essential.

Applications should be made online, you should upload a single file comprising of your CV, list of publications, and a brief (max 1 page) research statement summarising your research interest, practical experience in 2D nanofabrication and experiments, and career aspirations.

What you will get in return:
