NanoTECH is a multidisciplinary group made up of researchers from different departments of the University of Salamanca. Our current work has a major emphasis on developing novel low-dimensional systems for fundamental physics. We employ several experimental methodologies (i.e. low-temperature magnetotransport, photocurrent spectroscopy, THz emission and detection) with a common stem in clean-room-based work and two-dimensional materials. We are looking for scientist with good background in 2D materials, semiconductor physics and optics that can integrate and strengthen the level of our group. Candidates with interest in twisted layers of 2D materials are particularly welcomed.

Salary & Benefits:

The position is tenable for 30 months in a tenure-track process. Each fellowship includes funds for travel, reasonable research expenses as well as competitive salary. The total cost of a fellowship is 4.855 €/month and the net salary of the ER will be around 3.500 €/month. The net salary results from deducting all compulsory (employer/employee), Healthcare contributions as well as direct taxes (e.g., income tax) from the gross amounts. Further details can be consulted in:

https://usal4excellence.usal.es/fellowship-conditions/

At the end of the fellowship the University of Salamanca will promote candidates to associate professors upon completion of most of  the project goals.

Nanotechnology group in the Department of Physics of the University of Salamanca (USAL) is seeking applicants for two post-doctoral research fellowhsip.  The deadline is December 17, 2020 for both applications. 

1. Development of terahertz detectors/emitters using 2d materials

Our current work is mainly focused on developing novel fully 2-dimensional-based systems for fundamental physics and for real-word applications. We employ several experimental methodologies (i.e. THz emission and detection, non-linear optics and low-temperature measurements,) with a common stem in clean-room-based work and two-dimensional materials. We are looking to strength our terahertz field investigation line with a new post-doctoral fellow. A candidate with technical skills in terahertz technology field (THz detection and emission experiments and/or THz Time Domain Spectroscopy) and/or in electrical characterization of semiconductor devices is sought. Additionally, the candidate must have a good background in semiconductor physics and optics to integrate and strengthen the level of our group.

Please contact Dr.  Yahya Moubarak Meziani (meziani@usal.es)  for further details.

 2. Broken-symmetry on 2D materials
