Postdoctoral Researcher: Multilayer Magnetism for Spintronic Applications & Advanced Magnetic Force Microscopy

Postdoctoral Researcher: Multilayer Magnetism for Spintronic Applications & Advanced Magnetic Force Microscopy

Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

Dübendorf, Switzerland

Your tasks

We are seeking an exceptional postdoctoral researcher to join a highly specialized research group at the forefront of quantitative nanoscale magnetism and advanced scanning probe microscopy, and develop innovative magnetic multilayer systems for spintronic and biomedical applications. The position is particularly suited to candidates with a strong background in thin film magnetism. Prior experience in scanning probe microscopy is advantageous but not required; candidates with outstanding expertise in magnetism and a strong motivation to develop advanced SPM skills are highly encouraged to apply. Your work will combine advanced scanning probe microscopy instrumentation, magnetic materials science, and fundamental physics to push the limits of how magnetic multilayers and nanostructures can be measured, understood, and engineered for spintronic and related applications at the nanoscale.

Your profile

Essential

• PhD in physics, nanoscience, or a related field
• Strong background in thin film magnetism and/or scanning probe microscopy
• Interest in quantitative nanoscale measurements and the development of advanced instrumentation and methods
• Proven ability to conduct independent research

Highly desirable

• Eperience with MFM, AFM, KPFM, or related SPM techniques
• Knowledge of magnetic thin films, multilayers, or nanostructures
• Experience in micro- and nanofabrication
