€ 3600 - € 4800 per month gross

The Department of Physics is seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics starting 1st September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter, for a duration of 2 years.

The successful candidate will be involved in fabrication of 2-dimensional van der Waals materials using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and characterizing their electronic properties at the atomic scale using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (LT-STM) as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the Synthetic Quantum Materials group at University of Jyväskylä.

Who we are looking for

The candidate is expected to have prior experience in scanning probe techniques, cryogenic and ultra-high vacuum systems, and preferably in molecular beam epitaxy.

The duties, qualification requirements, and language skills of a postdoctoral researcher are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. The PhD degree required for the position must have been completed before the starting date.
