Job Summary

This full-time postdoctoral position at the Marburg Center for Quantum Materials and Sustainable Technologies (mar.quest) offers an exceptional opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in experimental solid-state physics. The successful candidate will lead the nanofabrication of electrically controllable van-der-Waals heterostructures and manage complex opto-electronic measurement setups at cryogenic temperatures. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing optical spectroscopy, conducting electrical transport measurements, and modeling complex data within the context of many-body physics. Beyond laboratory work, the role involves scientific communication, publishing research findings, and contributing to teaching services. This position is ideal for researchers seeking an inspiring, collaborative environment with access to excellent technical facilities. The role is initially limited to two years and provides significant freedom for independent scientific work and professional qualification, supported by attractive benefits like the Hessian state transport ticket and dedicated career development programs.
