Offer Description The candidate will contribute to the abovEF project, funded by FIS2 AdG, which aims to build and operate a completely new laboratory for electronic spectroscopy. The main innovation is an angle-resolved inverse photoemission (ARIPES) apparatus that operates in the UV photon energy range with unprecedented resolution exceeding 40 meV. The project has a strongly experimental approach, from instrumentation design, through construction and commissioning, to its use in the study of quantum materials. The instrumentation design activity will be complemented by ARPES, RIXS, and XMCD experiments on quasi-2D materials with special magnetic and electronic properties, such as altermagnetism and topological states. Once the abovEF apparatus is completed, the main activity will consist of measuring ARIPES spectra on quasi-2D materials.
quality, originality, and innovation of the research proposal, with reference to the research program covered by this selection (up to 20 points)
relevance and significance of previous research activities and professional experience in relation to the research program (up to 20 points)
relevance of submitted publications with respect to the research program (up to 20 points)
interview, aimed at assessing the candidate’s research aptitude, their ability to implement the proposed project, and their knowledge of English and/or other relevant languages for the research (up to 40 points)
