A position exists for Research Associate in Quantum Sensing of Emergent Magnetism in Layered Materials.

The aim of this role is to study emergent magnetism and the formation of nanoscale spin textures in a plethora of 2d layered material heterostructures using diamond-based scanning quantum magnetometry. The goal of this ambitious research program, with a strong interdisciplinary nature across quantum optics, quantum sensors, materials science and magnetism, is to capture emergent magnetic phenomena and their dynamics under electrical, magnetic, temperature and current control. There will also be opportunities for additional related research topics, such as exploring moiré physics of excitons in 2d TMD heterostructures and investigating optically active spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride.

You will hold (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in Physics or a cognate discipline with a proven track record broadly in quantum condensed matter physics and magnetism in multiple material platforms. The areas of expertise desired include advanced optical spectroscopy of materials, spin resonance and coherent control techniques, atomic force microscopy, magnetism characterisations and simulations, and time-resolved correlation measurements. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in experimental condensed matter physics and emergent magnetism in 2d materials, as demonstrated by publications in international journals. A solid understanding of material science and of device fabrication is highly desired.

You will also have the ability to perform coding relevant to analysis and instrumentation work, to design mechanical and electrical components of the experimental apparatus, and to communicate material of a specialist or highly technical nature.

You will be located at the Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0HE, UK.

Please be advised that references will be required in advance of interviews. Please inform your referees that reference letters will be requested shortly after the closing date, with a deadline of 31/10/2024.
