PHD ON ELECTRICAL TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN 2D/LAYERED MATERIALS

(ref. BAP-2025-64)
Laatst aangepast: 31/01/25
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team doing research on electrical transport phenomena (e.g. superconductivity, topology, electron correlation, magnetism) in 2D/layered materials.
You will be part of the Quantum Solid State Physics research unit of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of KU Leuven. We specialise in experimental research of functional electronic properties of solid-state systems. Our research is fundamental in nature and, when relevant, applications in functional systems and devices are also explored.Eight faculty members lead an integrated community of more than fifty doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and visiting professors. Our research is supported by a dedicated team of instrument specialists, technicians and administrative staff. We operate a wide range of in-house facilities and also carry out using complementary techniques at international large-scale facilities, such as the ISOLDE facility at CERN, synchrotron facilities, free-electron lasers and neutron sources.
The submission deadline is 31 March 31 2025
The submitted applications will be continuously evaluated, and the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found, we therefore recommend you submit your application sooner rather than later.
