The hired person will receive multidisciplinary training with a focus on thin-film device architectures. This will include the epitaxial growth of complex oxides, the analysis and understanding of x-ray diffraction, atomic resolution electron microscopy, the preparation of devices using photolithography, and the measurement of dielectric and photoresponsive properties, including nanoscale characterization of the photoresponse. The PhD candidate will also collaborate jointly with the PhDs of the team. Such a stimulating environment will provide a solid scientific broad background, rather uncommon in the current highly-specialized PhDs programs. The scientific education will be framed within the PhD program of “Ciencia de Materiales” coordinated by the Physics, Chemistry, and Geology departments at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and complemented with participation in appropriate schools (such as ISOE “International School of Oxide Electronics”, organized every 2 years in Cargese, Corsica). Regular presentations at weekly group meetings and international conferences shall provide adequate training.Minimum Requirements:Master in Physics, Materials Science, or Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is mandatory.Number of offers available:1Company/Institute:Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC)Country:SpainState/Province:BarcelonaCity:BellaterraPostal Code:08193Street:Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC)#J-18808-Ljbffr
