The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center CIC nanoGUNE, created with the mission of conducting world-class nanoscience research for the competitive growth of the Basque Country is currently looking for

A PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHER

to work on:

SPINTRONICS AND VALLEYTRONICS IN 2D MATERIALS AND VAN DER WAALS HETEROSTRUCTURES

The rich library of 2D layered materials present a plethora of spin- and valley-related properties that can be combined in order to design novel spintronics and valleytronics devices. Detection and manipulation of spin and valley degrees of freedom are key for the use of these systems in future information technologies. In this project, we aim to explore spin and valley physics in van der Waals heterostructures by combining layered materials with complementary properties.

The selected candidate should have a Master’s degree in Physics or related fields, and will be responsible for the design and preparation of structures by exfoliation and stamping in controlled atmosphere and device fabrication by standard electron-beam lithography. (S)he will be also involved in the magneto-transport measurements (high magnetic fields and low temperatures), data analysis, and drafting of results.

The research will be led by Prof. Fèlix Casanova and Prof. Luis E. Hueso of the Nanodevices, group in close collaboration with the Nanoimaging and Nanooptics groups.

We offer an international and competitive environment, state-of-the-art equipment, and the possibility of performing research at the highest level. The position is available immediately and for a length of five months.

The candidates should apply by completing the form available in the webpage of each offer at (http://www.nanogune.eu/careers), attaching a cover letter, a complete CV, and at least two reference letters grouped in a single PDF file.
