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 and recently recognized as a "María de Maeztu" Excellence Unit (2017-2021), is currently looking for a
TECHNICIAN
to work on
Fabrication and characterization of vdW nanoantennas
The Nanooptics group, led by Prof. Rainer Hillenbrand, is currently composed of 17 members including senior and junior researchers. The group performs experimental and theoretical research in Nanooptics and Nanophotonics, covering both fundamental and applied aspects. Essentially, they develop near-field nanoscopy (scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy, s-SNOM) and infrared nanospectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared nanospectroscopy, nano-FTIR), and apply these novel analytical tools in different areas of science and technology. More information can be found at https://www.nanogune.eu/nanooptics
We are looking for a physicist/engineer/chemists to work as a technician in the framework of the Novel instrumentation and applications of IR & THz nano-spectroscopy project (NOVASPEC project).
