CIC nanoGUNE
Post-doctoral Researcher on Low Dimensional Materials for Rectification
CIC nanoGUNE, Villa Espana Colonia, Texas, United States
Organisation/Company CIC nanoGUNE Department Nanodevices Research Field Physics Researcher Profile Recognised Researcher (R2) Positions Postdoc Positions Country Spain Application Deadline 6 Jan 2026 - 23:59 (Europe/Madrid) Type of Contract Temporary Job Status Full-time Hours Per Week 40 Offer Starting Date 1 May 2026 Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer Description NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for the competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.
The
Nanodevices group , co-led by Prof. Luis E. Hueso and Prof.èlix Casanova , is currently composed of 30 members including senior and junior researchers. It has extensive research facilities for fabrication and characterization of devices and several active research lines spanning from nanofabrication to 2D electronics and spin transport.
The
research topic
advertised here encompasses the interplay between low crystal symmetry and electrical properties. In particular, we will explore the non-linear effects of chiral materials and their rectifying properties at high frequencies. The project also foresees the integration of optimal working materials together with functional 5G antennas.
The research to be performed will require the synthesis of chiral materials, both based on Tellurium and on artificial 2D heterostructures. It will also involve the nanofabrication of microdevices (using techniques such as thin film deposition, electron-beam lithography and etching), and their electrical transport characterization. A major objective is to explore the rectification of radiofrequency waves into dc currents.
The following is a selection of publications related to our team’s recent work on this
research topic :
Nature Materials 24, 1005 (2025)
ACS Nano 19, 24930 (2025)
Advanced Materials 37, 2419283 (2025)
Nature Materials 23, 1502 (2024)
Nano Letters 24, 4471(2024)
Advanced Materials 36, 2310768 (2024)
The
candidate
must have a Ph.D. in Physics or Materials Science. Proficiency in spoken and written English is also required.
Although not compulsory, the following
points
will be positively considered:
Experience in any of these experimental techniques: e-beam lithography, materials growth and characterization, electrical transport measurements
Previous knowledge in electronic instrumentation and measurement
Previous knowledge in the fundamentals of non-linear transport
Publication track record
Self-motivated and a team player willing to coordinate the research in a particular topic
We offer an international and competitive environment, state-of-the-art equipment, and the possibility to perform research at the highest level. We promote teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment and welcome all kinds of applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
The position is
expected to start on 1 May 2026
and for a total length of
up to 2 years .
The candidates should
apply
by completing the
online form , attaching a complete CV including at least two references. The
deadline
for application is
January 6, 2026.
