Postdoc: Surfaces and interfaces in plasma applications

Netherlands Job Openings

ARCNL

FULL TIME

October 11, 2024

Work Activities

Plasma discharges in gases create extremely challenging environments for surfaces. Protective coatings are often required to maintain the integrity of plasma-facing materials. However, plasma-induced etching of material and the diffusion of small elements such as hydrogen present challenges even for optimized materials and their coatings. In this project, you will perform in situ studies of the evolution of the surface and interface chemistry of materials exposed to radicals, ions, and full plasma. You will operate ultra-high vacuum tools for the preparation of surfaces and thin films, vacuum-based transfer to plasma exposure setups, and surface-sensitive in situ spectroscopy.

Qualifications

You have a Ph D in Physics, Physical Chemistry, or a related field and experience in surface science and/or plasma-surface interactions.
You are motivated, independent, and have good project management skills.
Good verbal and written communication skills (in English) are required. Experience with ultra-high vacuum, photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and thin-film growth are considered an advantage for the project.

Work environment

ARCNL performs fundamental research, focusing on the physics and chemistry involved in current and future key technologies in nanolithography, primarily for the semiconductor industry. While the academic setting and research style are geared towards establishing scientific excellence, the topics in ARCNL’s research program are intimately connected with the interests of the industrial partner ASML. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 100 persons of which 65 are ambitious (young) researchers from all over the globe. www.arcnl.nl

Working conditions

The position is intended as full-time (40 hours / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration two years, with a salary in scale 10 (CAO-OI) and a range of employment benefits. ARCNL assists any new foreign Postdoc with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
