Postdoc in Hybrid Heterostructure Quantum Devices using 2D Materials and Complex Oxides

Postdoctoral Research Opportunity – Nanotechnology & Quantum Devices

Join DTU Physics (Technical University of Denmark) for a fully funded 3-year postdoctoral position working on cutting-edge hybrid heterostructure quantum devices that integrate 2D materials with freestanding complex oxides.

🔍 Job Details

The Department of Physics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Physics) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the forefront of quantum materials research. This fully funded 3-year position offers a unique opportunity to integrate 2D materials and freestanding complex oxides into hybrid heterostructures for next-generation quantum devices.

This project sits at the intersection of nanofabrication, quantum condensed matter physics, and advanced characterization techniques. By combining freestanding oxide membranes with 2D materials, researchers can engineer novel quantum phases and explore flat band physics, new topological states, and hysteresis-driven quantum memory mechanisms.

A key focus will be the development of a new characterization platform for in-operando TEM and nano-ARPES studies, enabling fully functional devices to be probed at the nanoscale.

You will be part of the ERC Synergy Project METRIQS and the Villum Young Investigator Programme DynamiQ, collaborating with leading teams at CSIC, UCM, and Aarhus University.

Responsibilities

• Optimise van der Waals assembly involving 2D materials and freestanding oxides

• Develop chip platforms for in-operando TEM and nano-ARPES analysis

• Fabricate and characterise hybrid heterostructure devices using electron & optical lithography

• Perform magnetotransport and electronic measurements at room and cryogenic temperatures

• Collaborate across experimental and theoretical teams to design, fabricate, and analyse devices

Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a related field

• Expertise in micro/nanofabrication and device assembly

• Experience with AFM, SEM, and electronic device characterisation

• Solid understanding of condensed matter physics

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work in collaborative, interdisciplinary environments

What DTU Offers

• A vibrant, international research environment focused on scientific excellence

• Access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities, including DTU Nanolab

• Opportunities to work on high-impact quantum technologies

• A collaborative culture built on respect, curiosity, and innovation
