Description
The doctoral researcher will investigate emergent electronic phenomena in two-dimensional materials through gate-tunable scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The role involves fabricating and characterizing nanoelectronic devices using state-of-the-art facilities, including low-temperature STM and spectroscopy. The selected candidate will collaborate with both experimental and theoretical teams within the Atomic Scale Physics group, contributing to high-impact research on materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides, Mott insulators, and multiferroics.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit the following application materials:
- A brief cover letter detailing motivation and suitability for the position
- CV including education background, skills, and publication list
- Degree certificates and academic transcripts
- PDF copy of Master’s thesis or a link to where it can be accessed
- Recommendation letter(s) and/or contact details for referees
Applications can be submitted through Aalto University’s recruitment site.
Note: Current Aalto University employees should apply through the internal HR system Workday.
