Deadline: The position may have been removed or expired!

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong experimental background in materials chemistry, solid state physics or nanoscience who wants to pursue cutting-edge research at a world-class level. 


Within a large-scale project, we aim at developing carbon-based quantum materials for next-generation quantum technologies, with a strong focus on atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). Within this project, you will work on the development of gate-tunable graphene nanoribbon devices and their characterization by Raman spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy. 

To transfer spin-bearing GNRs from their metallic growth substrate to gate-tunable (device) substrates, you will develop ultra-high-vacuum dry-transfer stamping methods. Successful substrate transfer will allow you to control the charge and spin state of GNRs, and to characterize their (opto)electronic and magnetic properties in great detail.
