About this position
Chalmers University of Technology is seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join the Quantum Materials and Nanodevices group in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience and the Quantum Device Physics Laboratory in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The project develops an experimental platform for engineering nanoscale periodic superpotentials through substrate design. These engineered substrates can modify the electronic structure of quantum materials without changing their chemical composition. The research will investigate electronic correlations, competing phases and emergent quantum states, initially in cuprate high-temperature superconductors and later in other systems such as kagome materials and topological insulators.
The postdoctoral researchers will take leading roles in combining substrate nanopatterning, epitaxial thin-film growth, nanofabrication and advanced low-temperature electronic measurements. The work includes designing nanoscale patterned substrates, fabricating quantum-material devices and conducting cryogenic transport measurements at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Researchers will also develop microwave resonator techniques and perform low-frequency noise spectroscopy to study superconducting properties, electronic fluctuations and the dynamics of emergent quantum phenomena.
Experimental results will be analysed in collaboration with theoretical partners and communicated through publications and international conference presentations. The role is embedded in a cross-disciplinary research environment with access to advanced nanofabrication facilities and collaborations across academia, industry and society. Depending on experience, the postdoctoral researchers may supervise master’s or doctoral students and contribute to undergraduate or master’s teaching.
Funding details
Temporary full-time employment for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The postdoctoral researcher is employed by Chalmers and receives employee benefits; no salary amount is specified.
What's required
A doctoral degree in physics, engineering, or an equivalent foreign degree must be obtained no later than the employment decision. Applicants must have strong written and verbal English communication skills, experience with low-level electronic measurements at cryogenic temperatures, the ability to plan and conduct research independently, and good collaboration skills. Some teaching experience and potential in research and education are expected. Meritorious experience includes nanofabrication in cleanrooms, thin-film or nanoribbon growth, nanolithography and patterned substrates, cryogenic transport at high magnetic fields, microwave resonator measurements, low-frequency noise spectroscopy, knowledge of high-temperature superconductors, kagome materials, topological insulators or related quantum materials, and collaboration with theoretical researchers. A valid residence permit is required by the start date.
How to apply
Submit the application in English through the application form linked from the vacancy page. Upload PDF files, including a comprehensive CV with publications and teaching experience, plus a personal letter covering your background, previous research and outcomes, and future goals and research focus.
