Doctoral Student in Physics for Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Microscopy on 2D Quantum Materials

Your Tasks

• In collaboration with local and international partners, you will design and fabricate 2D heterostructures by exfoliation and perform their structural characterisation by optical microscopy, force microscopy and transport measurements.
• You will select the most promising 2D systems for synchrotron-based measurements to investigate their functional, magnetic, and electronic properties by PEEM and ARPES measurements.
• You perform data analysis using both classical image analysis tools and artificial intelligence as well as modelling of the experimental results.
• You will discuss and present the results at project meetings and conferences and prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

• Very good master's degree or diploma in physics
• Good knowledge of solid-state physics
• Programming skills, e.g. Python
• Experience with spectroscopic measurement methods
• Very good command of English
• High level of intercultural competence
