We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a Master’s degree in physics, chemistry nanoscience, materials science or a related field. Experience with some of the following domains are of advantage but not required: scanning probe microscopy, electronic transport measurements, surface science, ultra-high vacuum, building of prototype devices, programming. You are curious with a selfdrive towards new knowledge, enjoy working in a team and pay attention to details. A good command of both spoken and written English is essential.
We offer a fully funded, 4-year PhD position, excellent research infrastructures and resources, in particular a state-of-the-art low-temperature STM/nc-AFM system dedicated to the project. EPFL and PSI are an excellent research institute and a renowned university, respectively, offering a stimulating international research environment, a competitive salary and an ideal starting point for a scientific career.
The spirit of our open-minded, small, interdisciplinary and dynamic team offers flexibility and the possibility to generate and test your own ideas. Join us, play with atoms and
molecules and unravel nature’s secrets at the nanoscale.
