Project assistant at Solid state physics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of the workplace 

The research at the division of Solid State Physics is focused around different aspects of semiconductor physics, ranging from materials science to quantum physics, to different applications. The division plays a major role in NanoLund, the major interdisciplinary research environment within nanoscience and nanotechnology at Lund University, and it hosts Lund Nano Lab, a central key facility for fabrication of material and devices on the nanoscale. The division is also heavily involved in the undergraduate education, especially within the “Engineering Nanoscience” program. More information is found at: www.ftf.lth.se and www.nano.lu.se

We offer

Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme. Read more on the University website about being a Lund University employee Work at Lund University. 

Work duties

The position will be part of projects aiming to interface between biomolecules and semiconductor nanostructures. The aim of the project is to detect single macromolecules using optical or electrical signals.   

Specific work duties will include:

• Supporting ongoing nanofabrication projects, in particular the fabrication of interdigitated nanoelectrodes for the detection of single mole-cycles.
• May also include fabrication and characterisation of other types of structures, such as microfluidic components or structures for the optical detection of biomolecules using nanowires.

Qualifications

Required qualifications for the position are:

• Master’s degree in physics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, or a related field
• Experience in nanofabrication (for example EBL)
• Experience in modelling (for example microfluidics or light scattering) in Comsol

Additional qualifications for the position are:

• Experience of working with experimental optics
• Experience with characterization techniques (for example AFM, SEM)

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills are deemed to complement and strengthen the work within the unit.

Further information

The position is a fixed term position for one year at 100 per cent of full time and starting by agreement. 

How to apply
