Job Summary

Embark on a groundbreaking PhD project investigating Coulomb phases in artificial spin ice materials using advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). You will explore the dynamics and thermal fluctuations of magnetic monopoles under varying conditions, focusing on Lorentz microscopy and electron holography for quantitative magnetic imaging. This role involves extensive use of a state-of-the-art cryo-magnetizing stage and requires experimental design, data acquisition, infrastructure management, and advanced data processing. The position is ideal for a highly motivated physicist, materials scientist, or engineer with a strong academic record, ideally with TEM and programming experience, seeking to conduct high-impact research in a world-class electron microscopy center with excellent facilities and international collaboration opportunities.
