Job Description:
The post is funded by the Horizon 2020 to investigate new atomically thin semiconducting materials for different energy devices.
To carry out research programmes in the epitaxial synthesis of new 2D magnetic materials over large areas using metal organic chemical vapour deposition. The Research Associate will be expected to be able to independently characterize the grown materials and to assess the structural, electrical and physical properties as well as the magneto-transport characteristics of the grown materials, and they will be expected to submit publications to refereed journals.
Main Duties:
* Synthesis/growth of layered 2D materials by physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and chemical vapor transport at monolayer/few layer limit.
* Characterisation of the synthesized materials using structural and physical characterization techniques and to investigate the magneto-transport properties ensuring a good collection and analysis of data.
* Assist with the analysis of data.
* Ensure the validity and reliability of data at all times.
* Maintain accurate and complete records of all findings.
* Assist with the writing of reports to research sponsors.
* Research Associate: Hold a PhD in Physics or Chemistry or a closely related discipline.
* Research Assistant: A first / masters degree (or equivalent) in either Physics or Chemistry of Materials Science.
* Practical experience within a research environment and/or publication in relevant and refereed journals.
* Experience of dealing with PhD students and Postdoctoral Research Associates.
* Practical experience in a broad range of techniques including X-Ray diffraction, Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM), Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and Electrical transport measurements using physical properties measurement system (PPMS), Magneto-transport measurements using physical properties measurement system (PPMS), Low-temperature transport and spectroscopy measurement.
Knowledge of Synthesis/growth of layered 2D materials, with emphasis on 2D magnet and anisotropic 2D materials (like Janus materials) by physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and chemical vapor transport at monolayer/few layer limit.
Knowledge and extensive experimental experience in electrical transport measurements using physical properties measurement system (PPMS), Magneto-transport measurements using physical properties measurement system (PPMS), and low-temperature transport.
Benefits:
* The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity.
* Grow your career: Gain access to Imperial’s sector-leading as well as opportunities for promotion and progression.
* Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes).
* We provide a wide-ranging benefits package that includes resources, tools and networks to promote a positive working environment.
* Pensions – excellent employer contributions.
* Season Ticket loan – interest free.
* Childcare facilities – Early Years Education Centre.
* Childcare vouchers – salary sacrifice scheme.
* Staff accommodation.
* Our flagship sports centre and gym in South Kensington Campus.
