Position Description

NRC-CNRC Canada
National Research Council Canada

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher at the National Research Council Canada / uOttawa to lead a project focused on developing an analog quantum simulator platform based on 2D materials. The successful candidate will play a leading role in designing, fabricating, and measuring quantum devices that harness correlated and topological phenomena in low-dimensional systems.

Responsibilities include:
Mechanical exfoliation and deterministic dry transfer of 2D materials
Assembly of high-quality heterostructures
Materials and device characterization using atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy
Analysis and interpretation of experimental data
Preparation of scientific manuscripts and conference presentations
Mentoring graduate students

Skills required include:
Extensive hands-on experience with cleanroom nanofabrication processes, including electron beam lithography, metal deposition, and reactive ion etching
Experience performing electronic transport and photoluminescence measurements in dilution refrigerators at millikelvin temperatures and under high magnetic fields
A strong foundation in solid-state physics
Experimental independence, creativity in device design, and strong communication skills
