Working in the field of condensed matter physics you will join a vibrant team of researchers who have been at the forefront of graphene research since its discovery at Manchester in 2004, and will work on a range of projects relating to graphene and other 2D materials funded by the European Commission, the European Research Council and other overseas funders.
The posts will focus on a number of projects, ranging from investigation of the fundamental properties of 2D materials, to the synthesis and characterization of graphene-based heterostructures by transport and photo-current measurements, to technological development of graphene-based devices.
You will hold or be about to obtain a PhD, or have equivalent experience in condensed matter physics or a related discipline. Preference will be given to applicants with significant experience in graphene and other two-dimensional crystals. You should also be well-organised and self-motivated with excellent oral and communication skills. A strong publication record in internationally peer-reviewed journals is essential. The posts are available from January 2014 for a period ranging from 24 to 36 months.
