You will use advanced nanofabrication and characterization techniques to fabricate nanodevices based on van der Waals heterostructures which combine strong light-matter interaction, high spin-orbit coupling and magnetism. You will characterize your devices using a combination of optical, electronic and optoelectronic measurement techniques. You will perform measurements at cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic fields using state-of-the-art experimental setups for optical and electronic measurements already present at the OptoSpintronics of Quantum Materials group. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the diverse community of researchers of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, and to disseminate your research results at international conferences.

Organisation
The OptoSpintronics of Quantum Materials is a research group at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials focusing on the interplay between light, charge and spin/magnetism at the nanoscale. The group has a strong expertise on the fabrication and characterization of high-quality van der Waals heterostructures using (time-resolved) optical and (opto)electronic techniques. The research group is very diverse, consisting of researchers from different backgrounds and cultures. Finally, we have strong collaborations with other groups at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials performing research on two-dimensional materials and spintronics, as well as with the world-leading company on van der Waals materials growth - HQ Graphene.
Founded in 1614, the University of Groningen enjoys an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative centre of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. Flexible study programmes and academic career opportunities in a wide variety of disciplines encourage the 34,000 students and researchers alike to develop their own individual talents. As one of the best research universities in Europe, the University of Groningen has joined forces with other top universities and networks worldwide to become a truly global center of knowledge.

**Qualifications**:

- a master’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or another related field
- previous experience in optics, electronic transport, optoelectronics, magnetism, nanofabrication, or two-dimensional materials and heterostructures are a plus
- some computer programming (e.g. Python) knowledge is appreciated
- good spoken and written English proficiency is required.
