"Postdoc Imaging of Spin-wave Mixing Using Solid-state Spins"

Job Summary: The position involves research in the van der Sar lab, focusing on imaging spin waves using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in diamond. The project aims to realize spin-based spin-wave imaging at arbitrary frequencies and use spin-wave mixing to detect microwaves far detuned from spin sensors.

Responsibilities: Develop techniques for imaging spin waves, work with NV centers in diamond, involve single-spin control, magnetization dynamics, single-photon and atomic-force microscopy, microwave engineering, cleanroom fabrication, and electronic characterization.

Qualifications and Requirements: A PhD degree in physics and fluency in English are required. Experience in NV centers, single-spin control, magnetization dynamics, microscopy, microwave engineering, cleanroom fabrication, and electronic characterization is highly desirable. Candidates should be highly enthusiastic, skilled, and motivated to develop state-of-the-art NV microscopy.

What the Employer Offers: A 2-year contract for 38 hours per week. Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, including a customizable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, monthly work costs contribution, and flexible work schedules. Relocation support is available, including assistance for accompanying partners.
