The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian, Spain), created with the mission of conducting world-class nanoscience research for the competitive growth of the Basque Country and recently recognized as a "María de Maeztu" Excellence Unit (2017-2021), is currently looking for
 

A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER

to work on

TUNABLE MAGNETO-PHOTONIC NANOSTRUCTURES

The project will be dedicated to fabrication and characterization of hybrid noble and ferromagnetic metals nanostructures, called magnetoplasmonic-nanoantennas, and related metamaterials, to achieve a remote and dynamic control of light polarization via external magnetic fields.

Offer:  We have an opening for a Postdoctoral position (18 months Postdoctoral contract, latest starting date 1 January 2020) in the Nanomagnetism group for EXPERIMENTAL work related to optical and magneto-optical properties of magnetic and hybrid (noble-metal/magnetic, high-dielectric/magnetic….) nanoantennas, photonics crystals and metamaterials. The institute features an excellent infrastructure for advanced nanoscale research and engineering work, as well as related scientific studies. The working language at nanoGUNE is English.

Knowledge and competences required: The ideal candidate should have a PhD in Physics or related fields and a strong experimental background in optics, particularly related to nanooptics, plasmonics, and magneto-optics. Independently pursuing research ideas, capability to write articles and making conference presentations are all requirements.

Application: The candidates should apply by completing the form available in the webpage of nanoGUNE (http://www.nanogune.eu/careers), attaching a Cover Letter, Curriculum Vitae, plus Certificates and a List of References.

The deadline for applications is 15 October 2019.
