TU Wien - Stellenausschreibung für Univ. Ass (post-doc)
40 hours/week | limited to 6 years
TU Wien is Austria's largest institution of research and higher education in the fields of technology and natural sciences. With over 26,000 students and more than 4000 scientists, research, teaching and learning dedicated to the advancement of science and technology have been conducted here for more than 200 years, guided by the motto "Technology for People". As a driver of innovation, TU Wien fosters close collaboration with business and industry and contributes to the prosperity of society.
At the Institute of Applied Physics, in the new research unit for Physics of Three-dimensional Nanomaterials, TU Wien offers a position as University Assistant (Post-Doc) with 40 hours/week, limited to 6 years. Expected start date: October 2023 or shortly after.
The program:
Our group is carrying out pioneering work on three-dimensional nanomagnetism, where we study new physical phenomena in 3D magnetic nanomaterials, going beyond the standard approaches based on planar geometries. Moving to 3D has a great potential to create ultra-high density low-power devices and to exploit new physical effects which emerge as a consequence of the change in dimensionality.
In this program, the candidate will carry out experimental work devoted to the design, fabrication and characterization of three-dimensional nanomagnetic systems.

- Support in grant acquisition
- Participation in organizational and administrative tasks of the Research Unit and the Institute
Your profile:
- Doctorate in physics or a related field completed by 30.09.2023
- Excellent knowledge in the field of experimental physics focused on three-dimensional magnetic nanomaterials. This may include nanofabrication and characterization of 3D magnetic nanostructures, rolled-up technology, 3D spin textures, 3D spintronic devices
- Proficiency in imaging of static and magnetic nanoscale states using techniques such as Kerr microscopy and magnetic force microscopy
- Proficiency in magneto-electrical and magneto-optical measurements
- Experience in microfabrication using photolithography techniques and deposition of thin films using physical vapour deposition methods
- Experience in micromagnetic simulations and in 3D visualization software
- Scientific skills are to be supported primarily with a relevant list of publications in the field
- Willingness to participate in teaching (also in German, after a settling-in period) as well as project acquisition and management is expected
- Excellent command of the English language and very good communicative skills and team competences
We offer:
- The opportunity to develop your research career and scientific potential
- A dynamic and international working environment in one of the world's most liveable cities
- A range of attractive social benefits (see Fringe-Benefit Catalogue of TU Wien)
- Central location of workplace as well as good accessibility (U1/U4 Karlsplatz)
TU Wien is committed to increasing the proportion of women in particular in leadership positions. Female applicants are explicitly encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to women when equally qualified, unless reasons specific to a male applicant tilt the balance in his favour.
People with special needs are equally encouraged to apply. In case of any questions, please contact the confidant for disabled persons at the university, Mr. Gerhard Neustätter.
Entry level salary is determined by the pay grade B1 of the Austrian collective agreement for university staff. This is a minimum of currently EUR 4,351.90/month gross, 14 times/year for 40 hours/week. Relevant working experiences may increase the monthly income.
