Postdoctoral Research Position in GHz Spin Manipulation on Surfaces Using STM
The Materials Physics Center in San Sebastian, Spain, is pleased to announce the availability of a Postdoctoral Research position funded by the European Union. This cutting-edge research focuses on GHz manipulation of spins on both normal and superconducting surfaces employing the advanced capabilities of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM).
Project Focus:
The appointed researcher will engage in pioneering experiments involving electron spin resonance on single atoms, spin manipulation on magnetic molecules, as well as the production and manipulation of Shiba states and Majorana fermions on superconductors using GHz frequency microwaves. This project utilizes our state-of-the-art millikelvin ultra-high vacuum STM, which is specifically enhanced to drive spins with GHz pulses.
Technical Expertise:
We are seeking a candidate with a strong technical background in several or all of the following areas:
- Scanning Tunneling Microscope operations
- Millikelvin measurement techniques
- Ultra-high vacuum technology
- Application of magnetic fields in experimental setups
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of working with complex instrumentation and an ability to innovate in the field of surface science and quantum manipulation.
Key Responsibilities:
The key responsabilities include to conduct high-precision experiments using STM to manipulate spin states at GHz frequencies, to analyze and interpret data from experiments involving electron spin resonance and magnetic molecule spin manipulation, to collaborate with a team of physicists to further enhance the capabilities of our STM setup, and to prepare research findings for publication in peer-reviewed journals and present results at international conferences.
Application Process:
Interested candidates should submit a detailed CV including a list of publications, a brief cover letter explaining your suitability for the role and your interest in the project, and names and contact details of at least two references.
