Postdoc Spin Transport in Mesoscopic Devices with Quantum Materials
Join the QuSpin Lab at TU Delft to develop next-generation spintronic devices based on 2D materials platform
Job description
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join the Quantum Spintronics (QuSpin) Lab in the Department of Quantum Nanoscience, TU Delft. The project is aimed at developing spintronic devices based on graphene and van der Waals heterostructures. The project spans from building nano-constrictions and addressing spin-polarized quantum point contacts and quantum dots to functional topological spintronic devices based on quantum spin Hall currents. Your research will focus on understanding and controlling spin-polarized quantum transport at the nanoscale.
Your main tasks will include:
Fabrication of graphene-based nanoelectronic devices using state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities
Assembly of van der Waals heterostructures using dry-transfer techniques
Low-temperature transport measurements
Data analysis and modelling of quantum transport measurements
Close collaboration with other researchers within the department, and interaction with leading experimental groups within the Dutch quantum ecosystem
Attendence and presenting in national/international conferences
Research environment
You will join a young, ambitious, and interdisciplinary research group of QuSpin lab, led by Prof. Talieh Ghiasi, and embedded in the internationally renowned Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft. The QuSpin lab works at the interface of quantum materials, spintronics, and quantum transport, and offers a stimulating environment with strong experimental infrastructure, close collaborations, and excellent training opportunities (check https://quspinlab.tudelft.nl/ for more info). You will join a diverse and driven team of academic staff, PhD students and postdocs in Delft. Fostering an inspiring, friendly and supportive environment, we meet regularly to share ideas and knowledge or socialize. In addition, you will receive all the training you need to evolve as a scientist in this fast-developing field.
Job requirements
We are looking for a candidate who:
Holds (or is close to obtaining) a PhD degree in physics, applied physics, or nanoscience
Has a strong interest in experimental condensed-matter physics, spintronics and quantum nanoscience
Is motivated to work hands-on in the cleanroom and cryogenic laboratories
Is skilled at data analysis, problem-solving, and working in an international research team
(highly recommended) Has prior experience with 2D material assembly and nanofabrication
Has an advanced level in python programing (e.g. QCoDeS) needed for data acquisation and data analysis
