Project background
The Laboratory for Mesocopic Systems based at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a joint laboratory between the ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute, which is the largest research centre for the natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland. The current research focus is the investigation of novel magnetic systems at the mesoscopic scale making use of the clean rooms and large-scale facilities at the Paul Scherrer Institute, and fostering the synergies with the Department of Materials (ETH Zurich). We would like to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of nanomagnetic devices.
Job description
The researcher will be responsible for developing novel magnetic devices for applications in one of the following fields:
- nanoscale robotics or
- spintronics
Characterisation will be carried out using lab-based characterisation methods (optical and scanning electron microscopy, nanoMOKE, wide-field Kerr microscopy, transport, SQUID-VSM) as well as synchrotron x-ray techniques at the Swiss Light Source and internationally.
Your profile
You have outstanding qualifications with a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, materials science or a related subject, and a background in magnetic thin films, nanostructures and devices. You should be motivated, proactive and creative in order to be successful, and should have good team and communication skills.
