Offer Description
The Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices Group, led by ICREA Prof. Sergio O. Valenzuela, focuses on developing novel devices designed to investigate the physical properties of materials at the nanoscale. The Group’s research combines state-of-the-art lithographic and materials-processing techniques with advanced electrical, magnetic, and spectroscopic characterization. Current activities centre on quantum devices based on metals, graphene, topological insulators, and other two-dimensional and quantum materials.



A major research direction is spintronics, which exploits the electron spin degree of freedom both to investigate fundamental phenomena and to develop new device concepts, with potential applications in fast, energy-efficient, non-volatile, and highly integrated electronics. This forms part of a broader effort to probe, control and exploit spin, charge, superconductivity and other quantum degrees of freedom in nanoscale devices.
- Education:Master's degree in Physics, Materials Science, Nanoscience, or a closely related field.
- Knowledge:Solid background in solid-state physics.
- Professional Experience:Previous experience in one or more of the following areas would be valued, although it is not essential:
- Two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures.
- Nanofabrication or cleanroom techniques.
- Electrical, quantum-transport, or magnetotransport measurements.
- Cryogenic experimental techniques.
- Spintr
