Position Description

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead experimental efforts to probe anyon braiding statistics. The project will use Fabry–Pérot and Mach–Zehnder interferometers, combining state-of-the-art nanofabrication with low-temperature transport measurements. Applicants with strong low-temperature measurement expertise, and experience with 2D materials, are especially encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities:

• VdW heterostructures stacking and fabricating experimental devices

• Low-temperature transport measurements and data analysis

• Mentoring graduate students

Requirements:

• PhD in condensed matter / solid state physics

• Strong expertise in low-temperature measurements is required

• Experience in nanofabrication is a strong advantage

• Previous experience in 2D materials is an advantage

We offer:

• State-of-the-art transport measurements setups, including 4 dilution fridges equipped with superconducting magnets (vector 9/1/1, 12, 14 and 20 T)

• Access to cleanroom with any necessary nanofabrication equipment, including 3 motorized dry stacking stations, laser and e-beam high-throughput direct write tools, and a 6-meter Ar glovebox

Application must include:

• CV

• List of publications

• Contact information for two referees

Additional notes:

• Extra details on the postdoc opportunities at Weizmann Institute of Science can be found here

• Appointment is for 3-5 years. The start date is flexible, but a preference is given to before August 2026.
