4 PhD positions at the Materials Physics Center in San Sebastian

Job Summary

The Materials Physics Center (MPC) and "Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM)" in Donostia / San Sebastián (the Basque Country, Spain) is currently seeking for bright, highly motivated PhD candidates. The successful students will work in an intellectually stimulating environment to develop cutting-edge research on Materials Science, exploring physical and chemical properties of advanced materials, nanostructures and nanodevices, either theoretically or experimentally.

They will have access to the most advanced techniques in the field and develop industry-transferable skills. PhD candidates will work in close interaction with all our scientific staff and a wide group of postdoctoral researchers, and will take advantage of a continuous flow of prestigious international visitors. The center brings together several research teams with international recognition and positioning, developing cutting-edge materials science in state-of-the-art facilities.

Job Description

4 candidates will be selected and granted full studentships. Each studentship will cover a period of three years.

The successful candidates will benefit from an environment that fosters the cross-fertilization of ideas between different research topics. This year, CFM is focused in the following research projects:
