Postdoctoral Research Associate Grade 7
Design, Thin, Film Growth and Physical Characterisation of New Materials with Exotic Electronic and Topical Ground States
£34,188 – £39,610 pa
You will be an ambitious with a strong track record of excellence to work within an interdisciplinary team of researchers as part of the new Centre for Functional Materials Design funded by the Leverhulme Trust – one of only 4 such centres funded in the UK in this new scheme.
The post will be based at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design to identify new materials with unusual electronic, magnetic and topological ground states, and carry out advanced physical measurements, including collaboration with external partners (e.g., Professor S.S.P. Parkin’s group at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle). The programme will exploit our experience in growing artificial heterostructures and superlattices in thin film form using RHEED monitored pulsed laser deposition methods to access the targeted materials. The identification of the materials will involve engagement with the extensive computational team in the Centre, and with strong complementary film growth capability at our partner institutions.
You will form part of a large collaborative team (reaching over 60 multidisciplinary researchers during the project) working across themes in computational and experimental design, automation and harnessing knowledge growth. You should have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science and will contribute at a high level to the project. Our initial preferences to synthesise the desired materials are in the areas of physical vapour deposition using RHEED monitored growth, however those applicants with relevant skills to the project goals will be considered.
Whilst Direct supervision by and reporting to Professor M J Rosseinsky. You will work closely with Dr Jon Alaria on a day-to-day basis.
The post is available for 3 years and will additionally be supported by the Department of Chemistry and EPSRC Programme Grant: Integration of Computation and Experiment for Accelerated Materials Discovery.
