Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Spintronic Devices

The Laboratory for Mesoscopic Systems based at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a joint laboratory between the ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute, which is the largest research centre for the natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland. The current research focus is the investigation of novel magnetic systems at the mesoscopic scale making use of the clean rooms and large-scale facilities at the Paul Scherrer Institute, and fostering synergies with the Department of Materials (ETH Zurich). We would like to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of spintronic devices.

You will be responsible for developing novel spintronic devices for computing applications. The characterisation will be carried out using lab-based characterisation methods (optical and scanning electron microscopy, nanoMOKE, wide-field Kerr microscopy, transport, SQUID-VSM) as well as synchrotron x-ray techniques at international facilities.

• You have outstanding qualifications with a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, materials science or a related subject, and a background in magnetic thin films, nanostructures and spintronics.
• You should be motivated, proactive and creative in order to be successful, and you should have good team and communication skills.

• Your career with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development, but also actively contributes to positive change in society.
• We are actively committed to a sustainable and climate-neutral university.
• You can expect numerous benefits, such as public transport season tickets and car sharing, a wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ, childcare and attractive pension benefits.
