Job description

Offer DescriptionICFO is offering postdoctoral positions to well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.The successful candidate will be joining the international QTWIST program that includes Prof. Jarillo-Herrero (MIT) and Amir Yacoby (Harvard) as well as research groups of Prof. Adrian Bachtold, Prof. Carmen Rubio Verdú and Prof. Frank Koppens (ICFO) .We are seeking highly motivated and skilled condensed matter Research Scientists to join our cutting-edge project on the development of a novel analogue electron quantum simulator. The goal is to construct a new experimental tool based on a graphene superlattice to not only measuring macroscopic observables, such as electrical resistivity and magnetization, but also probing the many-body quantum wavefunction of correlated electronic states. This new quantum simulator platform may unravel the microscopic nature of high-Tc superconductivity and other correlated electron states, such as heavy fermions in a Kondo lattice, integer and fractional Chern insulators, and orbital ferromagnets.“An electronic quantum simulator-Programa Fundamentos de la Fundación BBVA 2022”.RequirementsResearch Field Physics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsCandidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in condensed matter physics.The candidate should have experience in electron transport of correlated systems and fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures.Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationBenefitsSalaries for ICFO Postdoctoral positions are assigned by the Selection Committee, based on experience and seniority of the applicant, as well as the assigned tasks and responsibilities within the group.
