Postdoctoral Position – Anyon Braiding Statistics

Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel

Updated: 2 months ago

Position Description

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead experimental efforts to probe anyon braiding statistics. The project will use Fabry–Pérot and Mach–Zehnder interferometers, combining state-of-the-art nanofabrication with low-temperature transport measurements. Applicants with strong low-temperature measurement expertise, and experience with 2D materials, are especially encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities:

  • VdW heterostructures stacking and fabricating experimental devices
  • Low-temperature transport measurements and data analysis
  • Mentoring graduate students

Requirements:

  • PhD in condensed matter / solid state physics
  • Strong expertise in low-temperature measurements is required
  • Experience in nanofabrication is a strong advantage
  • Previous experience in 2D materials is an advantage

We offer:

  • State-of-the-art transport measurements setups, including 4 dilution fridges equipped with superconducting magnets (vector 9/1/1, 12, 14 and 20 T)
  • Access to cleanroom with any necessary nanofabrication equipment, including 3 motorized dry stacking stations, laser and e-beam high-throughput direct write tools, and a 6-meter Ar glovebox

Application must include:

  • CV
  • List of publications
  • Contact information for two referees

Additional notes:

  • Extra details on the postdoc opportunities at Weizmann Institute of Science can be found here
  • Appointment is for 3-5 years. The start date is flexible, but a preference is given to before August 2026.
