About this position

The EPFL Laboratory for Bio- and Nano-Instrumentation is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop next-generation MEMS probes and instrumentation for cryogenic scanning probe microscopy and quantum measurements.

The project sits at the interface of microfabrication, nanoscale instrumentation, and low-temperature measurement technology. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, fabrication, and characterization of advanced self-sensing MEMS probes for cryo-SPM, with particular emphasis on wafer-scale micro- and nanofabrication and the integration of sensing, actuation, and electrical functionalities.

Research activities include mechanical, electrical, and thermal characterization of prototype devices, testing under vacuum and cryogenic conditions, and integration of probes into scanning probe instrumentation. The role also involves collaboration with academic and industrial partners working on quantum materials and cryogenic SPM, together with analysis, publication, student supervision, and technology transfer activities.

The position is hosted at EPFL in an international research environment with access to state-of-the-art micro/nanofabrication, microscopy, and characterization facilities.

Funding details

Competitive salary; 1-year contract renewable.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in microengineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics, materials science, or a closely related field. Strong hands-on experience in MEMS or micro/nanofabrication is required, along with practical experience in relevant cleanroom techniques such as photolithography, thin-film deposition, plasma or wet etching, metallization, wafer bonding, or thin-film patterning. Candidates should have experience designing and experimentally characterizing micro- or nanoscale devices and at least one of the following: scanning probe microscopy (AFM/STM), piezoelectric/resistive MEMS, low-noise electrical measurements, or vacuum/cryogenic instrumentation. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, written and oral communication skills in English are expected. Experience in quantum materials is advantageous but not required.

How to apply

Apply through the EPFL online platform only. Submit a brief cover letter (up to 2 pages) and one PDF containing your CV with publication list plus contact details of 3 references. For further information, contact Professor Georg Fantner at [email protected].
