At Aalto, our focus is the design and fabrication of photomemristor arrays that meet the demands of interfacing with biological systems, including strong photoresponsivity, a suitable wavelength response, and biocompatibility. You will investigate different material candidates and device structures, and integrate the most promising ones into a bio-hybrid system in which neuronal signals are processed in a closed loop. The position is based in the Nanomagnetism and Spintronics group led by Prof. Sebastiaan van Dijken. Our lab is equipped with advanced instrumentation for thin-film growth and electronic/optoelectronic characterization, and you will have full access to the OtaNano research infrastructure, including the state-of-the-art Micronova cleanroom for micro- and nanofabrication and the Nanomicroscopy Center. What we are looking for A PhD in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field A strong track record in materials science, electrical engineering, and/or nanofabrication Excellent written and spoken English, and a demonstrated ability to communicate research clearly (publications, talks, etc.) Motivation to conduct research at the highest international level and publish in high-impact venues Finnish language skills are not required. What we offer A 2-year postdoctoral contract, with a starting salary of 4229,48- 4649,25 € per month (gross), depending on experience Access to Aalto's occupational healthcare An annual working-time framework of 1,612 hours Support for professional development, including staff training and development programs A flexible, modern working culture that values work-life balance and wellbeing Join us!
