The post will involve taking a leading role in the assembly and commissioning of the new growth system and starting the growth and development of new oxide altermagnets magnets. It will also include building relationships with both internal and external collaborators in order to exchange information, develop collaborative projects and identify potential opportunities for future collaboration.
We are looking for applicants with experience dealing with ultrahigh vacuum components and equipment. You will need to have, or be close to completion of, a Ph.D. in condensed matter experimental physics or a closely related subject area, and have an experimental research track record in altermagnetism.
