Offer Description
The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center, CIC nanoGUNE, located in Donostia / San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain), is currently looking for a
PRE-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER to work on Quantum nanoscience of Magnetic Graphene Nanostructures
NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA ) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.
The primary objective of the Ph.D. project is to fabricate custom-crafted magnetic graphene nanostructures on metallic surfaces and to manipulate their spin quantum state through advanced single-molecule spectroscopy measurements.
This project involves the following activities:
- Fabricate graphene nanostructures, implementing protocols for creating tailored geometries using the on-surface synthesis technique.
- Employ state-of-the-art STM techniques to probe and characterize the electronic and magnetic properties of the fabricated graphene nanostructures at low temperatures.
- Utilize advanced single-molecule spectroscopy techniques to study and manipulate the spin quantum states of individual graphene nanostructures.
- Process and analyze the experimental data obtained from STM and single-molecule spectroscopy measurements. Extract relevant information about spin localization, coherence, and other magnetic properties.
- Develop theoretical models and simulations to interpret the experimental results and gain deeper insights into the underlying physics.
The candidate will join a research line focusing on molecular quantum physics in the Nanoimaging Group , led by Prof. José Ignacio Pascual ([email protected] ). The goal of the group's research is to elucidate the laws of magnetism, optics, and electronics at the scale of atoms and molecules. They use low-temperature Scanning-Probe Microscopy to study the basic quantum phenomena behind the macroscopic behavior of matter and to manipulate their basic atomic components. More information can be found at https://www.nanogune.eu/nanoimaging .
The successful candidate will have a:
- Master's degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a related field.
- Demonstrated background in experimental condensed matter physics, nanoscience, or a closely related discipline.
- Programming skills and experience with scientific software packages (e.g., MATLAB, Python) for data analysis and simulation.
Additionally, the candidate should demonstrate experience in the following skills:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Ability to present research findings effectively.
- Collaborate within an international and multicultural research team.
Although not compulsory, the following points will be considered:
Previous experience with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-temperature experimental setups, or single-molecule spectroscopy will be advantageous.
We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all kinds of applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
The position is expected to start in 01/10/2023 and for a total length of up to 48 months (01/10/2023 - 30/09/2027) in the Nanoimaging Group.
Candidates should apply by completing the form below and attaching a single PDF file with the following documents:
A complete CV, including reseach experience and background
A cover letter, clearly stateing motivation for applying
Academic transcripts
Contact information of at least two academic references?
