The candidates should be familiar with quantum physics and solid-state physics/devices and should have extensive hands-on experimental experience in one of the following fields: condensed matter physics, electrical engineering, or materials science. Prior experience in nanodevice fabrication and electrical/optical measurements is preferred but not required. The position is available immediately. Our research explores fundamental science of low-dimensional quantum materials and their applications in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. We study quantum confinement, light-matter interactions, topology, and strongly correlated electrons in a wide range of low-dimensional materials using nanofabricated devices and electrical and optical measurements. These efforts aim to uncover new physical phenomena and translate them into applications in semiconductor industry, quantum technologies, optical sensing, and so on. We are committed to providing a supportive and collaborative environment for all group members to conduct innovative and independent research. The postdoctoral fellow will receive regular feedback and guidance through group meetings and individual meetings and will develop key technical and professional skills that are valuable for careers in academia or industry.

Appointment Type:
