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

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER

to work on

Information Technology based on Hybrid Organic Interfaces

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 Nanodevices group, co-led by  Prof. Luis E. Hueso and Prof. Fèlix Casanova, is currently composed of 25 members including senior and junior researchers. 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. More information can be found at http://nanodevices.nanogune.eu 

The candidate will work alongside an international consortium on the SINFONIA project (Selectively activated INFOrmation technology by hybrid Organic Interfaces), which proposes a novel approach to information technology, based on hybrid organic/inorganic low-dimensional systems. 

The research will include the design of patterned molecular nanostructures on magnetic surfaces (including thin-film deposition, ultraviolet and e-beam lithography, etching), the study of the propagation of spin information in these nanostructures (by using electrical transport experiments) and the realisation of proof-of-concept hybrid magnetic circuitries. 

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Physics or similar and experience in the following skills:

• Nanofabrication (e-beam lithography, materials growth and characterization, etching)
• Electrical transport measurements
• Previous knowledge in molecular electronics and/or spintronics.
• Proficiency in spoken and written English

Although not compulsory, the following points will be considered:

• Previous track record in publications at the highest level. 
• Self-motivated and a team player willing to coordinate the research in a particular topic. 

We offer an international and competitive environment, state-of-the-art equipment, and the possibility to perform research at the highest level.

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 on April 1, 2021 and go on for up to 3 years in the Nanodevices group. The contract will be funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

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

1. A complete CV, including the name and contact details of at least three possible reviewers
2. A cover letter

The deadline for application is January 11, 2021.
