Researcher in Physics

Lund University, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.

Division of Synchrotron Radiation Research (http://www.sljus.lu.se) is a part of Physics and has more than 50 employees. The main focus of the research is experimental studies of electronic, structural and chemical properties of materials. At the division we use and develop a wide range of synchrotron and lab based techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy/imaging and X-ray diffraction/ imaging. We also host Sweden's largest facility for scanning probe microscopy.

Work description

This project aims at developing and exploring newly acquired scanning probe microscopes for use with advanced laser technology and synchrotron sources. The work will be carried out at Division of Synchrotron Radiation Research, Department of Physics, however it will involve significant collaborations within the world leading Lund Environments: NanoLund, Lund Laser Center and MAX IV. The successful candidate is expected to implement the new SPMs and design scientific studies based on collaborations with experts in manufacturing of semiconductor nanoscale structures and devices. The work will be performed in collaboration with several other researchers at the institute.

Qualifications

This position is focused on research, and you who apply should be in the beginning of your career with a maximum of 2-4 years of previous postdoctoral work.

You must hold a PhD in physics, nano science or a related discipline. You are also required to be fluent in English (both written and spoken). Further, experience with STM/AFM is a requirement. Experience with combining these methods with laser and X-ray sources is a requirement. Experience working on semiconductor nanostructures using STM/AFM is also qualifying, as well as experience with synchrotron based scattering experiments. Important personal qualities are, beside creativity and a curious mind, the ability to work both independently and in a group. Experience in the scientific interaction with researchers from other disciplines and in other countries is qualifying.

The Faculty of Science conducts research and education within Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Geosciences, Chemistry, Mathematics and Environmental Science. The Faculty is organized into eight departments, gathered in the northern campus area. The Faculty has approximately 1500 students, 330 PhD students and 700 employees.

The Department of Physics is one of Lund University's largest departments with approximately 400 employees. The department is shared between the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering. At the department there are seven research divisions and a number of major research centra. The research at the department covers a wide range of modern physics.
