Are you passionate about cutting-edge research in molecular and surface science and twodimensional materials? Do you want to work in an excellent, interdisciplinary research environment at a leading German university? If so, we invite you to apply!

The Collaborative Research Center CRC1772 investigates quantum phenomena in heterostructures of molecules and two-dimensional materials. Our interdisciplinary consortium brings together research groups from Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg. Our work combines physics, chemistry, and materials science — pushing the frontiers of quantum materials.

As a CRC researcher, you will become part of an excellent scientific network and have access to cutting-edge laboratories, and a wide range of professional opportunities. We are committed to family and academic life being compatible and promoting diversity and equal opportunity through a variety of support measures.

Job description:

Build up the research infrastructure for extended microscopy/spectroscopy facilities of CRC1772. This will include validation of setups for work with solids, surfaces, and molecular-2D material heterostructures, the automatization of data acquirement, and study of their emerging response. Design and implement concepts for FAIR research data management according to rules of good scientific practice.

Requirements:

Master in Physics, Materials Science, or a closely related field.

Desirable:

• Experimental expertise in research on molecular and 2D materials using ultra-high resolution electron or optical microscopy

• Knowledge of layered and 2D materials, low-dimensional materials, and molecular physics

• Research expertise as documented by scientific publications and presentations at international conferences

• excellent command of written and oral English (62).

• Expertise in automated data acquirement and handling of large data sets

• Knowledge of FAIR data management and advanced solutions for research data management

We are interested in a diverse research community and particularly encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply.
