Offer Description
The research project aim is to synthesize molecular nanostructures that exhibit collective electronic, optical, or magnetic quantum states. This new class of materials has a strong potential for elementary quantum operations. Therefore, the project also will develop protocols for manipulating the collective modes with electrons and photons.
This project involves the following activities:
- Fabricate graphene nanostructures through steered reaction on metal surfaces, implementing protocols for creating tailored geometries using the on-surface synthesis technique.
- Employ state-of-the-art STM techniques to probe and characterize the electronic, optical, or magnetic properties at low temperatures.
- Utilize advanced single-molecule spectroscopy techniques to study and manipulate their quantum states.
- Process and analyze the experimental data obtained from STM and single-molecule spectroscopy measurements.
- Extract relevant information about electronic excitations, spin localization, optical coupling, coherence, and other properties.
- Develop theoretical models and simulations to interpret the experimental results and gain deeper insights into the underlying physics.
The successful candidate is expected to hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a related field; to have demonstrated background in experimental condensed matter physics, nanoscience, or a closely related discipline, and programming skills and experience with scientific software packages (e.g., MATLAB, Python) for data analysis and simulation. Previous experience with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-temperature experimental setups, or single-molecule spectroscopy will be advantageous. Additionally, the candidate should demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, including the ability to present research findings effectively.
We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
The position is expected to start on 01/06/2024 in the Nanoimaging Group. The contract will be funded by the Spanish Research Agency, in the framework of a Spanish collaborative research project.
Candidates should apply by completing the form below and attaching the following documents grouped in a single PDF file:
a. A complete CV
b. A cover letter, stating research interests, and at least two reference letters
Application form: https://ow.ly/LCCn50QRaeC
