Offer Description
Research areas
We welcome applications across the full breadth of two broad areas:
- Quantum Nanoscience: including, but not limited to, quantum materials, quantum transport, quantum optics and photonics, quantum sensing, superconducting and spin-based devices, low-dimensional and topological systems, and quantum hardware.
- Nanomedicine: including, but not limited to, nanobiotechnology, biomolecular engineering, nanoscale biophysics, biomaterials, diagnostics, and bio-inspired nanosystems.

Proposals that are original, ambitious, and complementary to nanoGUNE's existing activity are particularly encouraged.



We will especially value research programs that exploit our experimental infrastructure, including our 300 m² cleanroom for nanofabrication, 15 ultra-low-noise laboratories, and shared platforms for electron microscopy, nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy, thin-film growth, and nanodevice characterization.
Career perspective
Junior Group Leaders are expected to conduct frontier research, apply to the next available Ikerbasque Research Fellow call, and seek competitive funding such as the ERC Starting Grant. Establishing a successful independent research line may subsequently open a pathway to a permanent position, in coordination with the Ikerbasque program for the consolidation of research talent in the Basque Country.
Eligibility and selection criteria
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology, or a related discipline, and must be within the ERC Starting Grant eligibility window
