Postdoctoral Position in Atomic-Scale Quantum Magnetism

Postdoctoral Position in Atomic-Scale Quantum Magnetism

Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

Dübendorf, Switzerland

Your tasks

You will conduct pioneering research on quantum coherent control of strongly correlated electron systems on surfaces. A particular focus is placed on molecular spin systems, where you can harness quantum correlations of many-body spin systems, enabled by atomically precise bottom-up synthesis. You will work in the laboratory for Quantum Magnetism fully equipped with low-temperature, high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and tuning fork atomic force microscopy (QPlus AFM), integrated with electron spin resonance (ESR) capabilities.

Your profile

We are looking for a highly motivated experimentalist who meets the following criteria:

• PhD in Physics, Nanoscience, Quantum Science, Electronic Engineering, or a related field
• Strong background in solid-state physics, quantum magnetism, surface science under UHV conditions, or quantum nanoscience
• Experience in scanning probe microscopy (STM or AFM), ideally with a focus on magnetic nanostructures or spin-resonance techniques
• Programming skills in Python or similar languages
• A proactive and collaborative mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and excellent communication skills in English
