Professor, experimental physics, specialist in semiconductor physics and magnetism

Offer Description

Job Summary: Fundamental research and characterization of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of thin-film antiferromagnetic structures and other material systems requiring advanced SQUID magnetometry techniques.

Job Description: The research will be carried out in the Laboratory of Cryogenic and Spintronic Research SL2. The laboratory is equipped with two Quantum Design SQUID magnetometers, MPMS-5T and MPMS-7T, as well as a He-3 magnetotransport system operating in magnetic fields up to 7 T. In addition, it has a scanning electron microscope with electron diffraction capabilities and access to chemical processing, lithography, ion milling, and ALD deposition facilities. The group maintains broad collaboration with other research groups both within IP PAS and outside the Institute, including longstanding international collaborations.

Requirements

• Professor title;
• Experience in SQUID magnetometry of thin-film semiconductor-magnetic structures, with particular emphasis on antiferromagnetic layers of submicron thickness;
• Experience in SQUID magnetometry measurements performed under an externally applied electric field;
• Experience in the preparation and performance of magnetotransport measurements, particularly at very low temperatures, e.g. below 1 K, and in high magnetic fields;
• Significant scientific and publication record;
• Experience in leading advanced national-level research projects;
• Fluent spoken and written English;
• Ability to work in a team;
• Experience in the supervision of PhD students, including successful supervision of PhD graduates.
