Monash: Research Fellow – Electronic Properties of Twisted 2D Semiconductors

Application close 8 Dec 2021

We are seeking a Research Fellow (Level A) in the area of experimental condensed matter physics and surface science to study the electronic properties of 2D twisted heterostructures of atomically thin semiconductors (e.g. MoS2, WS2), a relatively unexplored but promising new area of 2D heterostructure science. The successful candidate will conduct research into the electronic properties of twisted two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures using micro-and nano-angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

Based in Melbourne, the fellow will be working with Prof Michael Fuhrer and Dr Mark Edmonds at Monash. What we are looking for:

  • PhD in experimental condensed matter physics, or a closely related field
  • Experience with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is essential
  • Experience in the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures of 2D materials (i.e. exfoliation and controlled positioning and stacking of 2D materials), along with lithographic techniques for device fabrication, and synchrotron experience are highly desirable.
