Post-Doctoral Researcher: Magnetic Skyrmions: Spintec laboratory, in the frame of the Chirex project of the PEPR Spin, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher. The candidate will work on ultrathin magnetic heterostructures hosting skyrmions, deposited by magnetron sputtering at Spintec, to explore the combination of gate voltage and ultrafast laser pulses to control skyrmion stability, nucleation, annihilation, and motion. This project is a collaboration with Prof. S. Mangin’s team at Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) in Nancy, France.
