The International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) seeks a highly-qualified, self-motivated and experienced young researcher to work on the Radio Frequency Electrical Characterization Laboratory and participate in the research programs within the Spintronics group, requiring electrical modeling of devices.
The candidate will be expected to participate actively in launching the new High Frequency Characterization Laboratory at the INL, equipped to perform electrical measurements up to 40GHz in the frequency domain and 70GHz in the time domain. The selected candidate will be integrated as a Staff Member (INL career path C), with a contract up to 4 years.
The candidate is expected to work autonomously in high frequency characterization and testing of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions and circuits incorporating Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs). Furthermore, the successful candidate should be able to extract reliable electrical models of the MTJs microfabricated at INL which include information about the statistical dispersion of key parameters. The electrical models of the MTJs should be valid in the full range of the frequency spectrum from DC to 40GHz and should include spin transfer torque effects. The successful candidate will be the interface between the Spintronics group and circuit designers pursuing the integration of MTJs on standard CMOS circuits.
A PhD in electrical engineering, physics, nanoelectronics, materials, or related fields with particular expertise in magnetoresistive materials and/or device characterization is required, as well as demonstrated experience in the high frequency characterization of Spintronic devices. The candidate should be ready to participate in exchange programs considered important to the fulfillment of the project’s goals. Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
In addition to the opportunity to access the state-of-the-art experimental facilities and work in a multidisciplinary environment, INL will offer the successful candidate an exciting and highly competitive research environment, including salaries in line with those offered by other international research organizations, and a comprehensive fringe benefit package. Researchers at INL will benefit from the various social facilities available at INL, including the INL nursery. Interested applicants should submit their curriculum vitae (with a full list of publications) and a cover letter describing their research experience and the contact details of two referees.
Enquiries about the position should be directed to reo(at)inl.int

Apply for this job!The International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) seeks a highly-qualified, self-motivated postdoctoral researcher to participate in the research of the Group of Self-assembled Nanostructures.
Colloids are on the basis of the bottom-up fabrication of many nano/micro materials. The design of colloidal materials relies on the correct formulation for thermodynamic and kinetic control.
In our group we are interested in building up a library of protocols based on wet chemical methods for the controlled synthesis of soft and hard colloidal materials with defined size, morphology and hierarchy. Targeted applications include microreactors, molecular delivery, and sensing. Focus will be given to polymer materials such as polymersomes, polymer nano/microparticles, nano/microcapsules and nano/micro solid foams. Inorganic nanoparticles are also expected to be integrated in those colloidal materials to produce functional nanocomposites with additional magnetic and/or optical properties.
For that purpose, the Group of Self-assembled Nanostructures of INL welcomes applicants with a robust academic background on colloid science and with enough laboratory experience in the formulation, chemical synthesis and characterization (e.g. scattering techniques) of soft and hard polymeric nano/microparticulated and nano/macroporous systems. Additionally, expertise on microfluidic methods to produce such materials will be positively evaluated.
The successful candidate must hold a PhD degree in Chemistry, Materials Engineering, or related fields. The applicant should have strong enthusiasm for work, excellent communication skills in English and a good track-record for disseminating results to scientific community.
