About you

Applicants should have (or be about to submit) a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field. In addition, applicants should have considerable experience of operating ultra-low temperatures and high magnetic field equipment along with radio-frequency and microwave signal processing techniques. You would also need to demonstrate an understanding of quantum effects in low-dimensional systems. The postholder would have the skills and abilities in handling delicate samples and able to present technical information effectively to a range of audiences. Experience with Si-Based quantum nanodevices would be desirable. Appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B (salary £38,-£41, per annum) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis. For appointments at Grade 8, demonstrated supervision of research students and significant (more than 3 years) of postdoctoral experience is essential. Informal enquiries regarding the vacancy can be made to Professor Mark Buitelaar
