Description
The Nanomagnetism Group at the CIC nanoGUNE Research Center in San Sebastian (Spain) is currently looking for two motivated PhD students (Physicists/Materials Scientists/Engineers) who have an interest in working in an inspiring international and interdisciplinary environment in the following research areas:
• Fabrication of single- and multi-layered magnetic materials by means of sputter deposition and evaporation, as well as laterally patterned magnetic nanostructures via e-beam lithography, focused ion-beam methods, or direct e-beam writing.
• Characterization of magnetic materials (thin films, multilayers and nano-structures) by means of laser-based magneto-optical magnetometry, magnetic microscopy, SQUID- and VSM-magnetometry.
• Study of the mutual relations between magnetism, magneto-optical activity, and light-matter coupling in nanostructures for the magnetic control of light propagation in devices.
Candidates should have a background in physics, materials science or electrical engineering. Experience in one or more of the following fields would be preferred but is not a prerequisite: magnetic materials, optics, magneto-optics, magnetometry, microscopy, time resolved measurement techniques, nanofabrication and lithography. Proficiency in spoken and written English is compulsory. Applicants are asked to send their CV and two Reference Letters in support of the application, to the contact person provided below by 30 April 2012. CIC nanoGUNE located in San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain), is a Research & Development Center with the mission of conducting basic and applied world-class research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, fostering training and education excellence, and supporting the growth of a nanotechnology-based industry.
