Job description

Research Fellow (Condensed Matter Physics and 2-D Materials Devices)

National University of Singapore – Queenstown

The National University of Singapore is the national research university of Singapore. Founded in 1905 as the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States Government Medical School, NUS is the oldest higher education institution in Singapore.

Job Description

The team of Prof. Loh Kian Ping invites application for a postdoctoral fellow/research fellow working in condensed matter physics and two dimensional (2-D) materials devices. A major research thrust is the synthesis and investigation of artificially engineered heterostructures of quantum materials synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with strong electron correlations which allow new emergent states to be created at the interface.

Requirements:

1. PhD in Physics.
2. Experience operating an Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectrometer and collecting and interpreting results.
3. Experience in the molecular beam epitaxy growth of 2D topological materials.
4. Experience using UHV-scanning tunnelling microscopy / atomic force microscopy.

The candidate should have a strong track record in surface physics or condensed matter physics.

An attractive remuneration package will be offered for suitable candidate (research fellow) with a strong record in 2-D condensed matter physics and who has a good publication record.
