*** the listing date or deadline for this position has passed and new applications are no longer accepted. ***

The research group of Prof. Polshyn at Institute of Science and Technology Austria invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The successful candidate will experimentally investigate the nature and properties of correlated electrons in van der Waals (vdW) systems, focusing on topological states and superconductivity in graphene moiré heterostructures. More details about “Emergent electronic phenomena in 2D materials“ group at ISTA and its research could be found here: https://polshynlab.com

The expected length of this appointment is three years: the initial appointment is for one year with an extension for another two years contingent on performance. The start date of the appointment is flexible.

Responsibilities:
• Design, carry out, and interpret experiments to investigate the physics of strongly-correlated electronic phases in moiré graphene heterostructures.
• Use nanofabrication facilities at ISTA to create novel devices of van der Waals heterostructures.
• Conduct electronic transport measurements of vdW devices at millikelvin temperatures and high magnetic fields.

Requirements:
• Ph.D. in Physics (Experimental Condensed Matter) is required.
• Experience in nanofabrication and micro-characterization techniques is required.
• Experience in low-temperature measurements and operating a dilution refrigerator is strongly desired.
• Experience in working with van der Waals materials is strongly desired.

Please submit your application via this portal. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
