Postdoctoral Researcher Position (F/M) - Collective modes in Quantum Electronic Orders

The candidate must have the ability to conduct self-directed research, mentor graduate students and support PhD students, and work collaboratively with academic team members in related fields. He/she has strong interest in enabling science through the development of state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Requirements:

A promising candidate possesses a Ph. D. degree in condensed matter physics with a sound background of quantum orders/strongly correlated physics. Skills in delicate experiments under extreme conditions (low temperature/High pressure/high magnetic field or spectroscopy) are requested.

The ability to perform innovative and effective research in condensed matter evidenced by a strong publication record (commensurate with stage in career) in peer-reviewed journals or pre-prints. Evidence of ability to work independently, and as an active collaborative member of a research team, who is well organized and self-motivated, while working cooperatively at all levels. He or she is expected to communicate project results in conferences and write scientific manuscripts. Good command of English (both verbal and written) and demonstrated ability to disseminate scientific results are mandatory requirements for the position.

The post-doc salary is between € 2.663 and € 3.783 gross per month depending on experience and qualifications.

Initial contract: 13 months (with the possibility of an extension on ERC funding, for a total of 3 years)
