Working with the project team and reporting to Vincent VLAMINCK, you will explore spin wave interference with topological spin textures such as skyrmions. You will develop techniques in the time domain combining an arbitrary waveform generator and an oscilloscope.

Minimum education and/or experience required:

• PhD obtained less than 3 years before date of hire in Physics, preferably in condensed matter

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

• Strong background in magnetism,
• Solid experience in instrumentation

Mastery of physical instrumentation and object-oriented programming, combined with meticulous expertise in conducting delicate experiments, will be particularly appreciated.

Specific Requirements

Abilities and skills:

• Sharp written and oral communication skills
• Ability to carry out technical tasks autonomously

Start of the contract: March 2026
