Not funded by a EU programme Reference Number #JOB34/2025 Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer Description Job Summary: The winning candidate will work as a ¾ full time research assistant at the International Centre for Interfacing Magnetism and Superconductivity with Topological Matter - MagTop of the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and prepare a doctoral thesis in the extramural mode, attending lectures at the Warsaw-4-PhD Doctoral School.
Job Description: Background: In our group we are building and testing pioneering low temperature functional nanostructures with a special emphasis on superconducting devices. Our expertise involves fast time-resolved thermometry of nanostructures based on the probing of Josephson junctions with short current pulses, which we call the switching thermometry [1, 2]. It allows us to trace the thermal transients with a temporal resolution of a single nanosecond, which appear in the response to a local dissipation. We can directly investigate the dynamics of various energy relaxation channels at the nanoscale. Our second field of interest is vortex electronics. It involves building nanodevices for controlling and manipulating of superconducting vortices to present new functionalities e.g. memory cells and logical elements for application in quantum computing [3, 4].

Aim: Conducting research in the field of experimental quantum thermodynamics and superconducting nanodevices in the Functional Superconductivity Group.
Requirements
A Master’s degree in Physics or in related fields, such as e.g. materials engineering and electronics, is required (or an equivalent that qualifies one for PhD studies in physics in the country of issue).
RESPONSIBILITY for the individually defined project.
Strong interest in the proposed research (please verify on our webpage http://coolphongroup.ifpan.edu.pl whether our research profile matches your scientific interest).
Good soft skills: candidate should work in harmony with the rest of researchers, Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Good manual skills.
Experience in low temperature RF/microwave electrical measurements of nanostructures will be an advantage.
Prior experience with the Ginzburg-Landau simulations of the superconductivity will be an advantage.
Main research field: Physics Sub Research Field: Solid state physics, Nanotechnology, Superconductivity Career Stage: Early Stage researcher or 0-4 yrs. (Post-graduate) Research Profile (details): First Stage Researcher (R1) Type of Contract: Initial employment for a fixed term of 24 months, including a 3-month probationary period. Prolongation of employment for a further 24 months will be based on performance and successful completion of a mid-term evaluation performed at a level analogous to that in the PhD school. The doctorate will be carried out in an extracurricular mode.
Status: Part -time employee hired at ¾ of full-time contract Salary: The person will be employed as a research assistant in a ¾ full time position for a period of maximum 4 years (with all employee benefits and an additional medical insurance package) with a gross salary of PLN 7263,75 per month, which is approximately PLN 5 500 net/month. The MagTop project (FENG.02.01-IP.05-0028/23) is implemented as part of the MAB FENG action of the Foundation for Polish Science co-financed by the European Union from the 2nd Priority funds of the Programme European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 (FENG).
