School of Electronic Engineering of Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics of National Research University Higher School of Economics invites applications for postdoctoral research position:

Quantum nanoelectronics

The project is related to basic and applied studies of various low-dimensional quantum nanoscale systems.  The activities deal with nanotechnology, cryogenics, superconductivity and mesoscopic solid state physics. Although the project is mainly experimental, certain theoretical work is also foreseen.

The job involves:

·        Working under the direct supervision of Prof. K. Yu. Arutyunov.

·        Participants are encouraged to pursue their own research in parallel with working on the research projects in two broad areas:

o   low-dimensional superconductivity;

o   non-equilibrium and interface phenomena at nanoscales.

·        Writing research papers for international peer-reviewed journals in co-authorship with the members of the team.

·        Participation in organization of the events and other contribution to development of MIEM.

·        Participation in applications for various competitive projects for external funding.

·        Public presentation of candidate’s own research to broader academic community at workshops, national and international conferences.

·        Some teaching is encouraged, though is not mandatory.

Requirements:

-      a PhD from an internationally recognized  research university in such fields as: condensed matter physics, micro- or/and nanoelectronics, nanotechnology;

-      a strong background in cryogenics, nanotechnology, quantum physics, condensed matter or/and mesoscopic physics;

-      relevant experience supported by publications in international research journals is an asset, although is not mandatory;

-      ability to work in a team;

-      fluent English. 

General conditions for Post-Doctoral Research positions can be found here. Appointments will be normally made for one year. 

A CV and research statement should be submitted via online application form and two letters of recommendation should be submitted by the referees directly to iri@hse.ru by February 15, 2018. Please note that direct applications to the hiring laboratory may not be reviewed.
