Research Associate (m/f/d), EG 13 TV-H - in the Department of Experimental Physics IV

Part-time with half of the regular working time of a full-time employee. The position is initially limited until 31.01.2021 with the possibility (qualification position according to § 65 HHG in connection with § 2 Abs. 1 Satz 1 WissZeitVG). The possibility for doctoral studies is given.

Your tasks:

• Design and fabrication of topographically non-planar magnetic micro- and nanoparticles.
• Optimization of the deposition process of exchange-shifted magnetic thin film systems on organic micro- and nanoparticles
• Development of possibilities for subsequent modification of the magnetic anisotropy e.g. by field cooling or helium ion bombardment
• Characterization of magnetic properties by angle-resolved magneto-optical methods, magnetic force microscopy and X-ray methods
• Structural investigations of particle shape and surface roughness
• Performance of microfluidic experiments to study the translational and rotational dynamics of individual hybrid particles in time-varying magnetic field landscapes, as well as studies of cooperative effects
• Preparation of scientific reports and publications

Your Requirements:

• Completed scientific university degree in the field of physics or nanostructure science.
• In-depth knowledge in the field of magnetic thin film systems and magnetic anisotropy effects
• Experience in the use of experimental equipment available in the group, in particular magneto-optical measurement methods, atomic force and magnetic force microscopy, and sputter deposition for film fabrication
• Very good knowledge of the relevant theories
• Knowledge of the relevant literature
• Knowledge of English
• Ability to present even very complex factual contexts in a comprehensible and linguistically flawless manner in German and English
• Graphics and word processing skills

Advantageous are:

• Experience in the preparation and supervision of courses
• Thorough and independent working methods
• A high degree of organizational skills
