Job Summary
NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a MarÃa de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.
The Nanodevices group, co-led by Prof. Luis E. Hueso and Prof. Fèlix Casanova, is currently composed of 30 members including senior and junior researchers. It has extensive research facilities for fabrication and characterization of devices and several active research lines spanning from nanofabrication to 2D electronics and spin transport. More information can be found at http://nanodevices.nanogune.eu
Job Description & Benefits
Description:
The research topic encompasses the interplay between electron and spin transport in 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures. In particular, we will explore the optimal reading of magnetic information via non-linear effects. The project also foresees the integration of optimal working materials into functional nanodevices.
The research to be performed will require the exfoliation and stacking of 2D materials into van der Waals heterostructures, the nanofabrication of devices (thin film deposition, electron-beam lithography, etching), and magnetotransport measurements (under high magnetic fields and low temperatures).
The following is a selection of publications related to our team’s recent work on this research topic:
Nature Materials 24, 1005 (2025)
ACS Nano 19, 24930 (2025)
Advanced Materials 37, 2419283 (2025)
Nature Materials 23, 1502 (2024)
Nano Letters 24, 4471(2024)
Advanced Materials 36, 2310768 (2024)
The candidate must have a M.Sc. in Physics, Materials Science or Chemistry. Proficiency in spoken and written English is also required.
Although not compulsory, the following points will be positively considered:
- Experience in any of these experimental techniques: e-beam lithography, materials growth and characterization, etching, exfoliation of 2D materials, electrical transport measurements
- Previous knowledge in electronic instrumentation and measurement.
- Previous knowledge in spintronics
- Publication track record
- Self-motivated and a team player willing to coordinate the research in a particular topic
We offer an international and competitive environment, state-of-the-art equipment, and the possibility to perform research at the highest level.
We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all kinds of applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
The position is expected to start on 1 March 2026 and for a total length of up to 4 years in the Nanodevices group. The contract is linked to Project PID2024-155708OB-I00, funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and ERDF/EU.
The candidates should apply by completing the form in the link below, attaching a complete CV.
