Research Associate in Physics | Wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiterin* (m-w-d)

Job Summary

The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg is seeking a part-time (75%) Research Associate in Physics for a fixed-term contract until September 30, 2028. This role is ideal for a scientist looking to advance their career, offering the possibility of pursuing a PhD. Day-to-day responsibilities involve the fabrication of transducers for Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) and the creation of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) micro- and nanostructures using pulsed laser deposition. A core focus is the integration and characterization of SAW coupling with magnons using advanced techniques like Vector Network Analyzers and time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy. Candidates must hold a Master's degree in Physics or a related field, possess strong English language skills, and have specialized knowledge in characterizing acoustic surface waves and their interaction with spin waves. This position offers an engaging scientific environment and the opportunity to publish research findings and supervise practical courses.
