Job description

The NBI Cleanroom facility at the Niels Bohr Institute seeks an innovative candidate for a 2-year technical position as Specialist in Nanomaterial Characterization.The NBI Cleanroom is a research infrastructure providing nanofabrication, processing and characterization facilities to the research groups of NBI. With a focus on quantum electronics and quantum photonics, the research and innovation is mainly driven by The Center for Quantum Devices (Q-Dev) , Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q) , and The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) , involving coordinated activity in materials growth, processing, characterization, and nanoscale fabrication. The cleanroom also accommodates external commercial user groups.The position
The candidate will join the department’s existing team of lab technicians and engineers. The tasks within the position are among others to develop charazterization procedures in close collaboration with researchers and students allowing the fabrication of novel nanostructures for basic and applied research in electronics and other nanodevice applications. This will require the integration of multiple tools and methods, as well as the development of new characterization methods.The candidate is expected to contribute within the following areas:

• Supervise and train researchers, postdocs and students and other technical staff in using research equipment.
• Developing state of the art processes within areas such as Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, 2D/3D optical metrology.
• Manage technical collaborations with research teams for the development of the nanofabrication and characterization facility.
• Maintain and trouble-shoot research equipment in collaboration with technical staff and run regular calibration procedures on the tools.
• Share responsibilities for tools and processes and purchases with other members of the technical staff.
• Move equipment to our new lab facilities, primo 2026.
