The successful candidate is expected to work successfully on cutting-edge research, publish high-impact research publications, present on international conferences.
The position comes with internationally competitive remuneration and benefit package, commensurate with experience. The initial contract duration is one year with the option of yearly renewal, depending on satisfactory performance.
We are looking for:
- A Ph.D. degree in Physics
- Demonstrated strong experimental skill and research achievements
- Demonstrated ability to publish in high-tier scientific journals
- Demonstrated excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work independently, and as part of a team
APPLY NOW: Interested applicants, please submit the full CV, with the names and contacts (including email addresses) of 3 character referees, all relevant academic certificates and transcripts and email to Asst./Prof Bent Weber
Only shortlisted candidates will be notified. The candidate is expected to assume duty any time from 15th January 2018.
Asst/Prof Weber has more than ten years of experience in the electrical characterization of quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures. Weber obtained his PhD from the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, and worked as an Australian Research Council DECRA fellow at the Centre for Atomically Thin Materials (MCATM) at Monash University in Melbourne. Weber is an Associate Investigator in the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET), working on atomically thin and topological materials.
Weber recently moved to Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as Nanyang Assistant Professor (NAP) and Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellow, where he is establishing a state-of-the-art cryogenic scanning probe and electron transport measurement laboratory. Weber is interested in the growth, nanofabrication, and atomic-scale nanostructuring of 2D and topological materials to explore their potential for future information, and quantum information processing applications. Weber’s laboratories include low-temperature (T=4.5K) scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM), with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, as well as a dilution refrigerator for quantum measurement at millikelvin temperatures and high magnetic fields.
Beyond these capabilities, the Weber-Lab benefits from the unique infrastructure, existing expertise and strong collaborative environment at NTU, as well as within FLEET.
