Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 54,000 students, more than 7,500 employees and a turnover of around SEK 8 billion.
At the Division of Solid State Physics, we perform both basic and application-oriented research related to energy and environmental aspects in different research areas. We investigate physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials and compounds whether it be for smart windows, gas sensors, photocatalytic coatings, spintronics, and biomagnetic applications or to create new magnetic materials for environmentally friendly energy technology.

Research project: The project deals with the fabrication and characterization of novel memory devices using composite materials. The aim is to design new material combinations and create hybrid structures that can be used in resistance random access memory applications. The materials of interest are combinations of ternary oxides and two-dimensional materials, and the project will involve an in-depth investigation of their resistive switching performances as well as magnetic behavior.
Work duties: The work duties will mainly be experimental work. You will be responsible for the fabrication of the devices and their in-depth electrical and magnetic characterization. The tasks will be carried out in collaboration with partners from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University and the Quantum Device Physics Laboratory at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience – MC2, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg. This means that some part of the work will regularly be done at Chalmers, Göteborg. In addition, the tasks within this research project involve project planning, analyzing the results, and disseminating the new knowledge through scientific articles.
Qualifications requirements: This position requires highly motivated candidates with a doctoral degree in physics or a related field. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in thin film growth using pulsed laser deposition, and experience in electrical transport and magnetic measurements is a must. Experience in solid state synthesis, thin film characterization, and Raman spectroscopy are also required. The candidate should be willing to learn new techniques and develop new methods during the course of the project.
We requite expertise in programming for analysis and/or instrumentation. We require very good written and oral skills in English as well as very good skills in writing scientific publications.
Additional qualifications: Knowledge of correlated electron oxide systems and two-dimensional materials will be considered a strong merit.
Personal qualities, such as the ability to lead and run projects and at the same time be able to interact with other researchers are very important. You must be dedicated, structured and be able to work effectively both individually and in groups.
When assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on the applicant's documented experience in thin film growth using pulsed laser deposition and electrical and magnetic measurements, as well as on documented experience of publishing scientific studies in high-quality journals and giving presentations at scientific conferences.
Instructions for application: Your application should include the following:
The application should be written in English.
Salary: Individual salary
Starting date: April 2022 or as otherwise agreed
Type of employment: Temporary position for 12 months
Scope of employment: 100 %
