Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description ICFO is offering postdoctoral positions to well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.The successful candidate will be joining the international QTWIST program that includes Prof. Jarillo-Herrero (MIT) and Amir Yacoby (Harvard) as well as research groups of Prof. Adrian Bachtold, Prof. Carmen Rubio Verdú and Prof. Frank Koppens (ICFO) .We are seeking highly motivated and skilled condensed matter Research Scientists to join our cutting-edge project on the development of a novel analogue electron quantum simulator. The goal is to construct a new experimental tool based on a graphene superlattice to not only measure macroscopic observables, such as electrical resistivity and magnetization, but also probe the many-body quantum wavefunction of correlated electronic states. This new quantum simulator platform may unravel the microscopic nature of high-Tc superconductivity and other correlated electron states, such as heavy fermions in a Kondo lattice, integer and fractional Chern insulators, and orbital ferromagnets.Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in condensed matter physics.The candidate should have experience in electron transport of correlated systems and fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures.Languages: ENGLISHLevel: ExcellentAdditional Information Salaries for ICFO Postdoctoral positions are assigned by the Selection Committee, based on experience and seniority of the applicant, as well as the assigned tasks and responsibilities within the group. Standard salaries range from a lower level aligned with national Ramon-y-Cajal fellowships to higher levels aligned with Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual fellowships.The contract is offered for a period of 3 years.Additionally, a family allowance is also available on request and after corresponding approval for people with family charges in the terms described in the corresponding policy.Eligibility Criteria ICFO is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates are selected exclusively on merit and potential on the basis of submitted application material. No restrictions related to disabilities, citizenship, or gender apply to ICFO positions
