Ph.D. position in Magnetic Thin Film Multilayers with Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction Supporting Skyrmions


We offer a highly stimulating research environment with an excellent infrastructure, including MFM systems that can be operated at room temperature in fields of up to 300mT and at lower temperatures - from 5K to about 150K - in fields of up to 7T. In addition, the successful candidate will benefit from collaborations within a larger multidisciplinary international research team that will cover further experimental and theoretical aspects of this project.

Applicant's profile:

We seek a candidate with an M.S. degree in experimental Physics or a closely related discipline, having a strong motivation to study novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale using unique experimental equipment. A successful applicant should have a solid background and a proven record in one or more of the following: magnetism and magnetic materials, thin-film deposition techniques, photolithography and device microfabrication, (UHV) scanning probe microscopy (e.g. AFM, MFM, STM), VSM or SQUID magnetometry measurements. Excellent communication skills and a good verbal and written command in English are also required.
