About this position
A postdoctoral project is available in the research group of Professor Maria Ibáñez at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in Klosterneuburg near Vienna.
The position focuses on the electronic transport and functional properties of 3D nanocrystal assemblies. The successful researcher will investigate how nanocrystal composition, crystal structure, ordering, interfaces, defects, and interparticle coupling shape the measurable properties of these materials.
The postdoc will take a leading role in building the experimental methodology and practical know-how needed to measure transport in individual 3D supercrystals and related nanocrystal solids. The work is centered on developing and adapting measurement strategies for unconventional sample geometries, including the design of contact geometries and the establishment of reliable transport protocols.
This is an experimentally driven opportunity within ISTA’s international research environment, with the chance to help establish new capabilities for studying hierarchical semiconductor systems.

What's required
A PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or a closely related field is required. Candidates should have a strong experimental background in electrical transport measurements of semiconductors, microcrystals, nanostructured materials, or related systems, and experience developing transport measurements on small or individual structures with suitable contact geometries. Experience with micro- or nanofabrication of electrical contacts, including FIB-based contacting or lithography, is highly desirable. Experience with temperature-dependent conductivity, two- and four-probe measurements, contact resistance analysis, Hall, magnetotransport, or Seebeck measurements is highly valued. Applicants should have a strong understanding of charge-transport mechanisms, be able to distinguish intrinsic material behavior from fabrication- or contact-related effects, and have experience with nanocrystal solids, quantum-dot solids, superlattices, mesocrystals, or related hierarchical semiconductor systems as an advantage. Excellent written and spoken English is required, along with being highly motivated, independent, and able to develop new experimental capabilities.
