Post Doctoral Fellow, Physics

Position Overview

KU is seeking a highly motivated Post-doctoral Fellow to work on magnetic materials for future memory technology. 

Our research project concerns about an in-depth investigation of the plasmonic and magnetic (magnonic) crystals for a versatile electronic/magnetic device application ranging from highly sensitive biosensors to high-speed memory. The researcher will be involved in the synthesis of plasmonic/magnetic nano-structured devices. The morphological properties of the sample will be characterized using 3D-microscope, SEM, TEM and AFM. Thin film multilayers of a combination of metals like Au, Ag, NiFe, Ti, Pt will be deposited to study the effect of interface and inter-layer interaction on the performance of the devices.

Qualifications  

Position Requirements

• Have hand-on experience in synthesis of magnetic/non-magnetic nanoparticles.
• Have experience in different characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, XPS, Raman, FTIR, UV-VIS. 
• Adhere to the University's information security and confidentiality policies and procedures, and report breaches or other security risks, accordingly.
• Perform any other tasks assigned by the Line Manager.

Candidate Profile

Essential Criteria
