Become part of the "Quantum Materials" group led by Silke Bühler-Paschen at TU Wien and contribute to the discovery of new phenomena of strongly correlated electron systems! Using a wide range of experimental techniques (from bulk and thin film synthesis to challenging measurements at ultra-low temperatures), we seek to push the frontiers of knowledge. We are running several large-scale projects, including the ERC Advanced Grant "Correlation-driven Metallic Topology" (CorMeTop) and the FWF Special Research Program "Correlated Quantum Materials & Solid State Quantum Systems" (Q-M&S). As a "University Assistant" you can contribute to all these directions and also bring in complementary expertise and new ideas. Apply and get to know us!
At the Institute of Solid State Physics, in the Research Unit of Quantum Materials, TU Wien is offering a position as University Assistant (post-doc) limited to 6 years for 40 hours/week. Expected start: September 2023.
Tasks:
• Research in quantum materials and publication of results
• Participating and taking a leading role in research projects
• Presentation of research results and participation in scientific events
• Participating in teaching activities: laboratories, exercises, internships, co-supervision of bachelor, master, and PhD students
• Assistance with administrative tasks and funding acquisition
Research in quantum materials and publication of results
