Ph D POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS: SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

You will be part of the Quantum Solid State Physics (QSP) section of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at KU Leuven. KU Leuven is the largest university in Belgium and is among the best 100 universities in the world according to both Times Higher Education World Rankings and QS World University Rankings. It can look back on a long tradition of pioneering research and high-quality education. QSP is a young division within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at KU Leuven and has about 40 Ph D and post-doctoral researchers, 7 full-time and 2 part-time professors, and is supported by a professional team of technical and administrative staff. The QSP section focuses on quantum phenomena at the atomic and microscopic scale, i.e. on the origin and tunability of functional electric properties (e.g. magnetic, superconducting, semiconducting, dielectric, optical) in systems with reduced dimensionality. This ranges from single-atom defects to clusters of atoms, nanoparticles, 2D-materials, thin films and complex nanosystems and devices. The main research focus in QSP is on a deep understanding of the quantum nature of hard condensed matter and, whenever relevant, applications in functional systems and devices are also explored (often in collaboration with imec). The QSP division can rely on a wide range of in-house experimental facilities (https://fys.kuleuven.be/qsp/facilities/home), as well as expertise and access at international large-scale facilities.
