About this position
PhD position at Forschungszentrum Jülich in the quantum nanoscience department of the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI-3), focused on the scanning tunneling study of exotic superconductivity. The project aims to advance the material basis for topological quantum computing by studying hybrid topological insulator nanowires and flakes, engineering nontrivial superconductivity via proximity effects, and characterizing the resulting states with advanced scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
Work will involve experimental superconductivity, cleanroom nanofabrication at the Helmholtz Nanofacility (HNF), STM experiments at low temperatures and in magnetic fields, data analysis, collaboration in an international group, and preparation of publications and presentations. There is also optional supervision of Master students.
Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in Physics or Materials Science with excellent grades; experience in at least one of scanning probe microscopy, transport measurements, or superconductivity; programming skills for scripting and data analysis; and very good English (at least B2 CEFR). German is not required but is appreciated.
Funding is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The position is EG 13 (65%) TVöD-Bund and fixed-term for 3 years. The workplace is in Jülich, Germany. Applications are accepted via the online recruiting portal; the post states that the vacancy remains open until filled.
