Research Fellow (2D topological insulators)

Job Description

An experimental Postdoctoral Researcher Position in the group of Dr Ahmet Avsar at Material Science and Engineering Department of National University of Singapore is available to develop novel spintronics devices based on magnetic topological insulators. 

The research involves advanced nanofabrication in state-of-the-art research facilities, and magneto-transport measurements utilizing low-temperature cryostats. It also includes data analysis, physical interpretation of the results and writing research articles. More specifically, spin surfaces of magnetic topological insulators will be probed and novel spintronics devices based on these intrinsic magnetic topological insulators will be developed. For more information about the projects and job description, please contact Dr Avsar (aavsar@nus.edu.sg).

Our National Research Foundation supported group has a ~ 100 m2 lab space with a full access to a clean room facility at the Graphene Research Centre (CA2DM) dedicated to 2D device physics and a cryofree low temperature high magnetic field measurement facility (three cryostats capable of applying magnetic fields up to 12T at base temperatures down to 250 mK). While the researcher will have the opportunity to start her/his experiments immediately, she/he is also expected to contribute into building our newly established laboratory.
 

Qualifications

A PhD in experimental physics or engineering is required. Enthusiasm for research, ability to think and work independently, willingness to support PhD and undergraduate students, excellent analytical skills and strong verbal and written communication skills are essential requirements. 

Interested candidates only with a very strong background in 2D heterostructure fabrication & low-temperature magnetotransport measurements will be considered.  A strong background in topological insulators, related phases, and/or spin torque is advantageous.
